Words From Coach Worman:
"Our first away match of the year presented many challenges and opportunities for growth. I was proud of how the freshmen embraced these opportunities and showed determination to use them to their advantage for the competitions to come. They've only been collegiate shooters for eight weeks, and there's no other way to get better than to learn and discover the things that you don't know along the way. There were some fine performances today, which proves that diligence and commitment to the process do pay off. We will keep at it!"
