Thoughts from Coach Mayben
"Tough first game.  Jessup showed why they are the ranked number eight in the country.  A great bounce back game in the second game allowed us to get an important GSAS split on the road. Dayna had a great game in the circle against a potent offense and our entire team performed well at the plate with Jyden and Miranda leading the way."
