The Bears get a nice shot in the arm with the return of Kitty Lynn Joustra and Ellie Protopapas...75 goals from 2019 (& Protopapas was the #2 lefty option with Emma Wright scoring 67 goals in that season).
They return nearly everyone from last year with the most impactful loss being 2m Hannah DeRose (#3 scorer last year), but Kitty Lynn should cover and raise at 2m. Grace Raisin having another year of development under her belt and Cal likely has the best 1-2 combination at set.
The team's success will likely hinge on converting the outside shots with the defense collapsing on 2m and staying consistent on defense. There should be some speed with Kitty Lynn's return and a couple of speedy freshmen.
Go Bears!
