COACH NOELLE ROOKE SAID
"I was very pleased with how all of our teams handled themselves today. I think they were all nervous and wanted to get the jitters out and that's exactly why we host this event, to get the cobwebs out and get the nerves out. We want to continue implementing everything we've worked on over the last six weeks, but I'm really proud of how we played today."
