We knew coming in this year that we would face some challenges and that we would have to be adaptable. This group came to practice every day ready to put the work in. Of course, we would have loved to continue our season or see more success, but they left it all out there every time they stepped on the court. We wish our 5 seniors the best, they will be missed.”
