Outlook: The Warriors hope to continue their building process in Connell’s third season.

“The Warriors expect to have their best season in over two decades as they build on the growth and success of the past three years,” Connell said. “Senior Alexis Moeaki and junior Jennessa Dunton will lead the team in its attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since before most of the players were born.
