Just going to take a sec to brag on MY PEOPLE! 🥹 This group has made me so proud on and off the field!!

From newcomers buying in and immersing themselves in the culture, to seeing returners make incredible strides of growth and upholding our standards…

I am thankful every day for their hearts, their kindness, and how they pour into each other and everyone else around our program. 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

🥎A message from a college coach we played 9/21/25:

“Thank you so much for today! I love playing your team they are a class act and always respectful! We hope you have a great year and will be rooting for you in the MAC!
Best of luck”
