COACH'S THOUGHTS
Reflecting on the tournament, Coach
Michael McNeely shared his thoughts, saying, "The ladies had another strong Tier One outing, showing great consistency and competitiveness. The men battled hard but are still working on churning out more strikes. This tournament highlighted areas for improvement, but it also showcased our team's ability to adapt and compete under pressure. I'm confident we're heading in the right direction."
