Coach's Corner
Head Coach Daniel Finn said, "Awesome day for the ladies today. They came out and took care of business today from the beginning. Having the ladies clinch the first-ever regular season title is a great moment for the program and these ladies deserve it. They have put in the work this season and deserve everything they have accomplished so far. I am very proud of everything they've done as a team this year, and we will enjoy the moment and celebrate this accomplishment. On the other hand, tomorrow we have to get back to the process and start preparing for Saint Leo on Friday."
