Team Outlook: STRENGTHS — A large group of returning lettermen, including the team's top three golfers from 2012, highlight the squad’s biggest strongpoint — seasoned depth.
WEAKNESSES — While too many options is a good problem to have, figuring out who deserves the precious six varsity spots is the earliest challenge for the Lions.

Coach says: “We believe our returning players have improved their game in the offseason and there will be some good competition among our players to be on this year’s six-man varsity team.
“Therefore, we believe we will be much more competitive in tournaments this season.”
