to continue that momentum and finish off the season with a bang," commented
head coach Andrew Gerard.
The women finished 24th at the regional
championships and were led by Bethany Sachtleben and Peyton Lowe.

Waru-Ewell. "We will look to continue our momentum this season and hopefully
finish the season on a successful note."
