Coach’s comments: “We had two fixtures graduate: Erin was our enforcer and Darianne handled the basketball. Teams will key on Rylee; they will get physical with her. Most of the girls don’t have a lot of varsity minutes. I have told a lot of the girls that they will have to earn their varsity time. I want us to become more physical. I want the girls to understand how to play; that will be our biggest leap. It will take a while, but I think they will sort it out.”
