Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Daniel Finn said, "Happy with the performances today by the ladies. They came out and dealt with some very difficult conditions but handled them in a business-like manner. They knew what they needed to do today and got it done. With the first match of course, we saw plenty of things to work on and get better but it's always great to start the season off on a strong note."
