Key newcomers: Lindsay Bowler, Fr. (2B); Ashley Leavens, Fr. (3B); Kaitlyn Vane, Jr. (SS, 2B)
Outlook: Last year's Susquehanna Division champ, the Cobras will have to deal with a much tougher schedule this time around, as they were promoted to the Chesapeake Division. "We expect to have a decent season," veteran head coach Fred Mongan said. "We're just looking forward to a great year of softball."
Havre de Grace
Head coach: Nicole Lowenstein (first year)
Last year's record: 13-8
Key returning players: Taylor Smith, So. (1B); Megan Thompson, Jr. (P)
Key newcomers: Lindsey Fenner, Jr. (3B); Kateri Peters, So. (OF)
Outlook: "Our focus is on solid fundamentals and aggressive play," Lowenstein said of the 2013 Warriors. "We will not be a team that beats itself this year. We will be aggressive in every aspect of our game and look to capitalize on other team's mistakes. We have really worked on instilling a relentless mentality throughout all of our players. With this approach to each and every game this year, I believe we will be a tough team to beat."
