Coaches Quote
We are looking forward to getting the season started at our home in the Patty. We have been really satisfied with the team's preparation throughout the semester. Our new team members have gotten integrated really quickly.
The group has taken a lot of ownership in setting clear goals for the season. As a coaching staff Randi and I are pleased to see them defining their expectations and we are seeing it translate to great shooting in practice and a really cohesive team. We know this team has a great deal of potential and drive so we are excited to watch them work this weekend.
