2016 record: 17-16 (11-9 Division I Sunrise, sixth)

Returning letter winners (starters): Nine (six)

Top players: LF/3B Alexa Blazek (Sr.), RF Tyre Hilton (So.)

“We will be starting the season with seven seniors,” Castro said. “We are looking for great senior leadership with a focus on a team-first mentality. We are also adding a couple of new players that are competing for starting spots.

“Our goal is to compete in league and earn a regional spot.”
