COACH'S QUOTE
"I'm happy the women's team got another team win today. The wind really picked up and although it wasn't the prettiest match the ladies were able to adjust their game and get a good result. Now we have some time off to enjoy the Easter weekend before we finish out conference and regional matches." - Coach Sarah Gray
