Haley Horner, Megan Behrendt, and Ellie LeCount lead us all weekend. Nicole Acton had a very good weekend as well. Autumn Magee played some terrific defense and is really adding another dimension to our team. Our home crowds are great and we love playing well for them.  We are excited to play CCIW opponent Wheaton at home on Wednesday. They are having a good season so we will have to continue to play well."
