Words From Coach Soren Butler:
"I'm really proud of the team for their strong start to the season. Losing is never fun but we've closed the gap on one of the top teams in the country. I'm so excited with the progress all eight of our girls have made this season. Back-to-back team-record days is a really fun thing to see, so we're going to enjoy that and get back to work tomorrow. We know there are still some very easy points to pick up and I think that will come with experience. I can't wait to see what this team does next. GATA!"
