Head coach Charlie Goffnett's opening statement follows:
"We have a fairly vetertan group returning. Our big challenge is
replacing (2004 MIAA MVP) Karen Hall in the post. We’re not going to do
it, so we're looking for some things in practice for some players who
can score and rebound the way she did. Maybe there are five or six kids
we can have (combine) to replace her. We have a veteran group returning
on the perimeter. This group has a lot of experience and have been in
the MIAA for a long time and have been through the wars. We have to try
to play the post by committee."
