ACCORDING TO HEAD COACH GARY VICTOR
"Our team grew as people and players this Fall. We are blessed to have 12 incredible young ladies on this team. Jolene and Sasha have shown themselves to be two of the best players and leaders around. Vika (Victoria) has grown as a strong player and leader. Yuliia is a fighter and someone we all admire for how she is managing the war in her family's backyard."

"Jackie finished strong and is as smart and spirited as they come. Jasmine has grown so much as a player and a person. Our freshmen and Cindy have brought amazing energy and positivity to this team. Cindy is so talented and capable of anything. Angela is one of the best doubles players in the conference and is capable of the same in singles in the future. Vito (Vitoria) is a great competitor who handles adversity so well."

"Emma is extremely talented and is already an outstanding collegiate player. Tallia is a worker with a ton of potential and Sofia has the talent to be a very good collegiate player. All of them are a pleasure to be around and make us stronger in every way!"
