Chan's Outlook: "Sabel absolutely has the talent and the experince to really have a breakout season. Last year you saw her be a dominant player in a handful of matches. This year I expect her, along with Brittani, to be the dominant players in every match. She has the ability to take over, and I'm hoping with the combination of maturity, experience and confidence Sabel will really come into her own this year. She's a special talent and we expect a lot. She's a natural leader."
