2024 OUTLOOK

”We have a lot of innings to replace on the mound this season. If we can find arms that consistently throw strikes, we should play solid defense behind them. Last season, that formula led us to a school-record nine shutouts. I am not certain how we will replace the big bats we graduated in the middle of the lineup. We will likely need to scrap for runs and hope our pitching can keep us in it.” - Shannon Blansette, Head Coach
