Talk about the success you guys had throughout the season and how much it brought everyone together?

“I think by all of our successes, our team realized how good we could be, which really brought us all together and made us work even harder as a team. Every time we would have a little bit of a disagreement, you could tell it brought us down, so building off our successes really kept us motivated.”

What would you say was the best play you made or moment you experienced this year?

“I can’t specifically think of a specific play or time on the court for me, but every time we practiced or worked together as a team, giving plays their full potential – it helped us emerge with the best outcomes.”

“I think next season, I will be excited to come back and watch my teammates fight for everything that got taken from us this year. I really feel like they’re motivated to make a statement for next year.”
