"That was a heartbreaking way to start the season, but we are definitely building in the right direction with the addition of all of our freshman. Overall, I thought it was a good showing by the team for our first game and we will look to continue to build chemistry as the season progresses. A key point of emphasis moving forward will be finishing games strong," said head coach Karen Nell.
