COACH'S CORNER
"Every time we step out on the field we have a new set of challenges that the players are working through. I think the Utica game gave this team the opportunity to solve more problems as a team. The key takeaways are the need for communication, awareness, and adaptability. These are all things we are going to work on as we prepare for Clark Summit on Tuesday." - Coach
Nikki Elsaesser
