Although the girls are continuing their winning streak, there is always room for improvement. 

“We can definitely improve on our focus on the court and our catching skills,” adds Gonzalez. She explains her hopes to build closer connections with her team, as sisterhood plays a great role in the success of the Lady Bears.

Varsity Coach Romig is more determined than ever to end the season on a positive note. 

“This years team is both versatile and greater learners. This allows us to attack and execute in a variety of ways, which guides us to exploit our opponents weaknesses,” explains Romig. “We want to be the best version of what our team can be…this includes winning the league Championship as seeing what playoffs in Division II holds for the Lady Bears,” he adds.
