Fiona Rowan said, “It felt fantastic to beat our rivals on their home court. It was the first time we had beaten them on their court in at least four years.” It was clear to all how big the mission was, as well as how big the payoff was. This was especially a big deal for the senior members, as this would be their last year with Linganore.

Sophomore Annie Watsic said, “It’s going to be sad to see the senior players go at the end of year.”
