QUOTES…
Head Coach Kristen Fleury
"We are excited to get the 2023 season underway. Being able to play early in the dome is always a good opportunity to see where we are at before heading to Arizona. We have had to make some adjustments and move kids to different positions but they have stepped up and are ready to take on the challenge."
