Each of you grew as individuals and as a team. We shared lots of ups and downs and came out stronger. Keep your heads high ladies!
These two brace student-athletes took time out of their busy lives to write speeches to give prior to our first pitch. It is not easy to speak about such a difficult topic, but they know how important it is to raise awareness. Great job ladies, thank you for making a difference!
Incredibly proud of these two amazing ladies who helped lead our team this year! Love that both mentioned that our Suicide Prevention/Mental Health Awareness game was their favorite game of the season💗
