Coach Hicks on the Golden Ram Defense in 2018:
"We bring back both starting center backs from last season and 2 new quality goalkeepers. We should be very strong in the back and it looks like a very good group on paper."

"Our leading scorer returns and the addition of two very good local attacking players will make us very good in attack this fall. Scoring goals should not be a problem for us."
