The smallest victory they had was a 15-0 win.
“We always ask the girls to give 110 percent, to have a good attitude, and be a team player,” said Head Coach Casey Martin. “These girls have more than done that. They put in a ton of work through the long hot practices even when kids usually get bored with the repetitiveness they continue to push themselves. So when you get to play the games and all of that work gets recognized and rewarded it makes you extremely proud to see all the time and work payoff for the girls.”
