Comments from Coach Nicole Hedden: The girls did a great job against St. Mary's Hall. We had 10 hits, 11 RBIs–it hard to lose when your bats are on fire and your defense is solid. Every single girl on the team contributed. I am hoping we keep this momentum going for the rest of the season.

Our upperclassmen are providing great leadership and our younger athletes keeps working and improving. We have seven weeks to SPC, there is still much to be done but the kids have proven they are ready to train to see more improvement. Fifteen PRs were set this week and at least six school records are within reach.
