We have a focus of gratitude this semester; to be grateful for this opportunity to play in these unprecedented times. I'm grateful that the majority of our team has experience playing during their tenure and can contribute this season. Many have had starts and consistent playing time and this experience is huge for us. We're grateful that we have the chance to honor Samantha Stolker and Angela Oskierko as they play their last games in a Roadrunner uniform before they graduate and move on to further their education. While they won't be playing, I do want to thank Victoria Ewanis and Erin Callery for all of their hard work and dedication to this program. The team will greatly miss all of them next season!"
