Head coach, Ashlyn Rebok has confidence in the play of her young squad, their successes this season, and the experience they gained.  She remains optimistic about off-season recruiting and adding to an already talented group.   "It is amazing to look back at practice film from the beginning of the season and see how far we've come. The potential for this group on and off the court is limitless, and we look forward to building on the foundation we created this year.  Although results from the weekend aren't what we were hoping for, there is so much more to this team than just a score. The coaching staff is extremely proud of what the girls accomplished this season."
