Thoughts from Coach Carlisle
"It was a tough end to the season today, but the girls fought with everything they had and that's all we could ask for. It was a really hard year for the girls, we only got to play two matches all season with a full lineup so we never got to truly show what we were capable of. But I'm proud of the girls for battling through the adversity and still competing well against good teams all year long. We have a lot of seniors to replace next year, but I'm very excited for the future of this program. Brighter days are definitely coming!"
