Brooke Andrus, Lexi Baver,
Emma Saunders,
Savannah Frye — players who ensure we're all working hard in practice and the games. You'll hear them from the bench echoing play calls, reminding their teammates of the scout, encouraging and coaching their teammates as hard as the coaching staff. That's the chemistry indicator. They help make us go, and they're a huge reason for our team growth. They help ensure we play and practice to our standard."
MacAllister is confident the team can continue its success in the upcoming
schedule.
Their next contest will be Saturday, December 11 at Miami University (Hamilton) with tip off at 1 pm.
