2. Continuing to develop our bench for more depth when we are making substitutions.
3. Increasing our fitness level so that we can perform our best every game.
Big Home Games
Our senior night will be May 14.
April 2 against Macomb should be a good game for fans to see both Varsity and JV in action.
We play Monmouth-Roseville April 16
We play Limestone April 30. We have lost to them by 1 goal the last 4 games and are excited to break what we have dubbed "The Limestone Curse."
