Top newcomers: Jr. F Maddy Lukasz; jr. C Abby Schumacher; eighth-grader G Michele Remer.
Coach Remer says: "Our numbers are low, but I'm impressed with the girls that are playing. They're playing well as a unit. There's some inexperience, so we've had lots of turnovers early on. The game's a lot quicker pace than the junior varsity they were playing last year. They play well together, though, and look to share the ball."
