"This season has taught me about how important is to play as a team. Building friendships with all these girls has been the best part about the season. We all had such a good bond and I think that’s what helped us win lots of games."

"This season I learned that you can't judge something before you try it. Some of us went into the season not knowing what to expect, but it turned out to be a good season with a lot of fun memories. My favorite part of the season was definitely funday Fridays. It was always so much fun playing games at practice and being on a team with the girls."

"This season discipline and hard work definitely paid off. Our success was attributed to consistent effort and focusing on factors we could control. We built confidence and fundamentals that will benefit them next year as varsity players."

"Our team battled adversity and constant changes all season. I am so proud of them for sticking with the team, continuing to grow, not only as players but as people. I am excited to see them flourish in this program in the years to come. These girls have given me so many tools to apply in the future and all of the knowledge I gained in my first season of coaching."
