SHAUNA’S STATEMENTS
“The fall season has been a great opportunity for our team to compete and grow,” said head coach Shauna Taylor. “We have incredible depth and I’m glad to have watched nine of our players compete during the fall season. Our three new players have learned so much already and that excites me.
“The offseason will give us an opportunity to tidy up some small things while making some gains in the gym as well. We are already planning for January as the sky is the limit for this team.”
