COACH SCOTT GREVE'S COMMENTS
The heart and grit that the ladies showed is truly indicative of this team. The ladies left everything out on the court and gave Transylvania a really good effort. It's disappointing that the match ended up with a loss, but it is truly a joy to coach these young ladies and to watch the growth they have experienced this year. I'm confident that each one of them will continue to become the best version of who God created them to be.
