QUOTE
“We had just one senior graduate, but this feels like a completely different team. With the two early enrollees, we’ve been able to train at a level that we’ve never been able to do here in the spring. We feel like an entirely different team, and the girls are coming along quickly. We’re establishing early the things that we really want to see from our team. Establishing what we do, the toughness with which we play and the mentality that we want to see – we’re starting to see the girls really get tougher and more fundamentally sound. Those things are going to speak well once we get to fall.” -Head Coach Jim Barnes
