Quoting Head Coach Isabelle Danner
We're excited about the schedule we've put together for this fall. It features a strong mix of quality opponents that will challenge us and help us continue to grow as a program. We also have a great stretch of home games, which gives us a great opportunity to compete on our own field and build momentum. Each season is an opportunity to take another step forward, and I'm looking forward to seeing how this group continues to rise to the occasion.
