The Patriots had a tremendous season last year before losing Zoe Adams to injury and losing to Greely in the semifinals.

Maria Valente was a 1,000-point scorer and leader.

Gray-NG still has four starters back. Skye Conley, Alicia Dumont, Grace Kariotis and Izzy DeTroy have all seen regular minutes at the varsity level.

The Patriots still have players taking on larger roles, especially in the post. Gray-NG may have some growing pains but still could be a tough tourney team.
