Young Team

The team will need of lot of their freshmen to step up this season. The Saints have only 8 returners and 10 freshmen.

Coach Lindsay Fico, says it’s been enjoyable watching the team grow.

Offense and Defense

In the circle Fico feels the team is strong. She says that she believes the bull pin will be deep this season.

During the fall the team played eight travel teams and one high school team. The top two pitchers for the Saints during the offseason was sophomore, Jamie Adams and freshman, Donnie Gobourne.

On offensive Fico mentioned she was a little worried about the lineup when they got back from break. However, she now has a lot more confidence in them after few weeks a go when the team held an intersquad game and the batters got about 21 hits off good pitching.

Two of the top hitters to watch for, based on the offseason, is Sophomore catcher, Emily Yakel, and Sophomore infielder, Adriana Garip.
