COACH'S COMMENT
"After a great battle yesterday, we made some adjustments to our lineup and the team responded well," said Head Coach
Shannon Tully. "We've had very few outdoor days so far this season, so it was a great boost to have so many parents, athletes, staff, and fans come to cheer us on. I was proud of the team for taking the win today and not letting Bradley find their footing."
