Thoughts from Coach Mayben
"I am proud of our team's resilience today.  Staying committed to improvement and working on setting goals that can make us one percent better everyday.  Dayna, Hannah, and Nat worked together to improve in the circle and that was evident today.  Sierra has stayed consistent at the plate.   Jyden and Aliana contributed to improved offensive numbers in game two."
