According to Mike Hill, women's team coach, the ladies are ready to present a team that is filled with good shooters and excellent speed. "What we lack is height, but we can more than make up for that with good court sense and ability," said Hill. "We are a very balanced team that will surprise a lot of other teams. Our size will be deceiving for the type of basketball we play."
