Two-time defending Seven Sisters Champions Mount Holyoke enters 2018-2019 looking to get the most out of this upcoming season. They will certainly have the squad to do it with four incoming players scheduled to challenge for only two open spots in the starting order. The two vacated spots carry quite a bit of weight as now-graduated senior co-captains Brandy Williamson and Emily Chang played in the Number 1 and Number 3 positions, respectively. Having an experienced and deep squad with newcomers regularly pushing the returners will help the Lyons reach their goals of playing with confidence and a positive mindset throughout the season. Mount Holyoke is surrounded in the rankings by teams aiming to step up their games in 2019, and they will have to do the same in order to keep pace.
