With a young roster and only one senior, Molly Quello, they are eager to learn and improve. Coach Levi Libra ensures that every player who shows up for practice gets a chance to shine on the court. Despite not securing a win yet, their determination was evident in a recent game where they lost by a mere couple of points due to a missed three-pointer at the buzzer.
