Senior Captain Tori Gryglewski was very proud of her team’s season, and shared her thoughts following the game. “I couldn’t be more proud of our team. We ended the season with a fight. We have accomplished so much as a team and have come so far. We all walked off that field proud because we proved ourselves to everyone that we deserved to be [in the Regional Championship]. Even though it came to an end, this is one season we will never forget.”
