Coach's Corner
Head CoachÂ
Mat Dunn said "It was a great way to close out the season with a 10-0 record which hasn't been done since 2014. It was one of our goals to get the conference title outright and go undefeated. The girls had fire put into them with the conference poll at the start of the season and they carried the chip on their shoulder all ten games. We will enjoy it tonight and tomorrow but hard work starts again on Monday. Our focus is now on the conference tournament. All these games now are tough because everyone is playing to keep their season going, so we have to be focused."
