Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"The scores stayed the same, but we saw a lot more growth today. We had some really good slings and I think we're closing in on putting a full match together. I think when we do that we'll really see our work come together in a score. We had a lot of PRs today and I'm really proud of how the team performed on their first road trip. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the girls do next!"
