Montrose was the closest team to beating Battle Mountain in the regular season last year, and league foe Summit (Frisco) is also a quality squad, falling 3-1 and 2-0 to the Huskies. A rivalry with league rival Steamboat (Steamboat Springs) is always spirited as well., though Battle Mountain handled the Sailors easily last season.
Question Marks: How will the Huskies react to being the defending champs? Also, can they bounce back from losing their goalkeeper, top defender and leading scorer with a successful group of JV players?
National Look: Colorado has produced two players who compete on the U-20 national team, and the state features a robust number of quality teams, especially in the Denver area. Don't let the cold winter weather fool you: Colorado can play.
In Summary: "Last year as a No. 6 seed, despite an undefeated regular season, we snuck up on some teams. This year everybody will know about the Huskies from Edwards, and we will have to prove ourselves worthy of a higher seed."
- Head coach David Cope
