I am proud of the girls to have lost to Douglas, 15-0, on Friday and then be able to keep Worland, who is at the top of the conference, to a 6-0 score. For our girls, it was a testament to their mental fortitude, positive mindset and work ethic. We of course have many areas to work on, which comes back to fundamentals and being more aggressive on the ball.”\”
