We can only do better than we did last year.

We go up against club players, but we never quit.

One of our biggest advantages is that we didn't lose anyone to graduation. We had some strong players last year, and they're all going to be back for us.

I don't know whom they'll be playing, but I'd be shocked to see them finish any lower than third.

Last year was part of a building phase for us. We had a lot of potential, but not a lot of experience.

I personally don't feel like we're ready to be contenders. But some of the coaches have been telling me that we're in a good position to sneak in and surprise some people.
