Day One is finally here!! We are pumped and ready to go. Here's a look at what this year's Captains see in our future this year:
Laura Cavanaugh '10 (Pylesville, MD/North Harford HS):
It’s hard to believe that the first week of practice is already here! I think everyone will be glad to finally get our sticks in our hands after a few months of hard training. Overall, our team’s strength has tremendously improved from where we left off last year due to our amped up lifting and fitness regimen. I am confident that our hard work in the off season will give us the edge we need to reach our goal this year (ODAC Champs!). Throughout the next few weeks of practice, I am convinced that everything will come together very well now that we will have our entire team on the field. Go Generals!!!!
Julia Gotwald '10 (Alexandria, VA/St. Stephens&St. Agnes) :
I think the team this year is going to be stronger and faster than we have been in past years. Everyone has been working hard running, lifting and doing agilities in the off-season that will definitely pay-off during our season. We are really excited to get the season going because we know what we are capable of and cannot wait to start playing. We expect that all the SAQ sessions and the lifting program will set us ahead of the competition and will definitely help us achieve our goals and be ODAC Champions! We predict that the defense will be very strong because we did not lose any key players on this end from last year and our offense will be innovative and quick this year. Overall, we cannot wait for the season to get going and we believe we are going to come out with a bang!
Emmy Mathews '11 (Baltimore, MD/Bryn Mawr School):
I am incredibly excited about the beginning of our season and from observing my teammates, the feeling seems mutual. This year we have put more work in than ever in the off-season to make our team faster and stronger, and I am very eager to begin to see all of that hard work pay off. In changing the way that we prepare for the season, a certain confidence permeates the team. We have confidence in what we have done up to this point and confidence that it's going to lead us to success in the coming months.
GO GENERALS!!
