FROM HEAD COACH MARCUS EVANS
"Our women came with fight on Day two and continued great success they had established throughout the championship. Aly lead from the gun and finished her career with the storybook ending. Alexis came through for our team pushing her way to the top spot. Savannah fought hard in each of her events and pushed herself to the absolute limit squeaking every point she possibly could. These three women exemplify where we want to go with this team as we continue to build. Our women are putting their hard hats on lunch pail in hand and going to work."Â
