Season outlook: Morong and the Mustangs are looking to finish their season with a championship this season, a year removed from losing in the USCAA title game. The Mustangs return eight players from last year, which should work in their favor. Team chemistry will be the team’s biggest priority while also working the newcomers into the culture and fast-paced style of play that CMCC is known for.
