With every last home game comes senior night, where the seniors are recognized and honored for their hard work and dedication to the team. "This is such an exciting moment for us but at the same time I am dreading it" commented Coach Nicole Deshaies. "We will be losing a group of strong willed young women that would do anything for this team or myself. Tonight's group of seniors hold a very special place in my heart. I have had the pleasure of coaching these four young ladies for several years now. It's hard to believe it's their senior night".
