"I am extremely pleased and very proud ot this team," stated Coach John Marsaglia.  "The girls dealt with adversity with transfers and injuries.  We lost 3 key players to season ending injuries and three transfers.  They (the team) stepped up and played together extremely well and they were definitely an exciting to watch."  Coach Marsaglia said, "The sophomore leadership will be deeply missed and hopefully our freshmen will carry on that to next year."
