Incredibly proud of this group!! Mottos for the weekend: “be where your feet are” and “having fun is the greatest competitive advantage.” This team balances intensity and fun perfectly, and I am so proud of how far they’ve come! @CFNorth2029

Incredible defensive team - multiple halves of holding opponents to zero points and our rim protection is a big reason why! Love this group, and super proud of all their hard work!

Well deserved write up for @MaeveKopetka10 by @JrAllStarMN. Maeve should be on everyone’s radar — a talented point guard who can handle pressure while both scoring and distributing. Love coaching her!

Is really starting to come together!

[Bethany Shield @ShieldBethany]

Check out some of my highlights from my freshman varsity season…

[Bethany Shield @ShieldBethany]

Seeing Brayli develop into an absolutely lethal offensive player has been incredibly fun! Black eye and all, she is impossible to stop on the court, but even more importantly, she is a selfless, caring leader!

[Crown College Women's Basketball @CrownWBB]

Morgan has been a crucial addition to the team! She does things no one else can and takes every rebound personally. A well-earned historic season for her!

[Crown College Women's Basketball @CrownWBB]

Morgan Bednarek was named to the All-Tournament team with three double-doubles and a 20-20 game in the quarterfinal win 🔥

[Bethany Shield @ShieldBethany]

Syd is the toughest player I’ve ever coached. She is all heart and guts, and an incredible leader on top of it!

[Crown College Women's Basketball @CrownWBB]
