"I'm very proud of our ladies," head coach Rashinda Reed said in a press release. Each match there was another obstacle to overcome and lesson to learn. The team did a really nice job of making changes we talked about from match to match. They're all very coachable and the chemistry continues to get better every match. This last one, they played very fluid and free. The newcomers have all gelled really well. We have a lot of upperclassmen that are great leaders guiding the younger players and they have a lot of trust in the leaders. They all came here in the summer, built those relationships, and now you can see some of those results on the court."
