"We are looking forward to playing against Valley City on Thursday. The game has big implications on playoff seeding and potential home games for us. On top of that, it will be senior night for us, so we want to send Sunshine, Melissa, Lindsay, McKenzie and Lauren out with a win! We are hoping for a great crowd and environment for our last home regular season game."
