Coach Betz – “I think the girls are unified this year which is good. They are there to play for one another and this is probably the most selfless team I’ve had.”
“I feel like we have a good core of upperclassmen and if the seniors can step up and lead, which I think they will, we should be okay. They are vocal and are willing to help out the younger kids. Also, if we can stay healthy we should be able to compete .”
