“The girls really stuck together. We have 12 new players this year, so we’ve been telling everybody to just stick with us until about the middle of January and we’ll start to click a bit more and that’s what’s happened. The girls have really bought in. They get in here and put in a lot of extra work and they’ve finally started to figure each other out” said Head Coach Joanna Tincher.
