The impressive number of 11 new recruits is another factor that increases the expectations of fans.

Captain of the Colts, Emily Cullen, stated that the vital factor to succeed in this game will be the aggressive mentality. According to Emily, they need to come out hot and challenge the opponents throughout the whole game.
