Katrina English is extremely proud of how the ladies are playing as they are set to begin the conference tournament next week. " The versatility of this team astounds me. We are getting smarter and I love that. I am very excited about the future of this program. I am seeing growth throughout the season, but at this point, hunger is a must. It was awesome to see the student-athletes with their families this weekend and I appreciate all the love and support we all bring together. The love I saw today was great and it's one of those "happy coach moments" said Coach English after Saturday's match.
