Coach Olang – “I’m extremely optimistic heading into this season. The girls know what we are capable of, but we’re just taking it one match a time. Our top focus is relying on one another and if we do that, it will make our unity strong. We are led by our large senior class (8 players) and most of them have been on the varsity since there sophomore years. We are an athletic, strong and highly skilled team and we have a deep bench. Our motto this season is “if we are for each other, who is against us.”
