COACH'S CORNER
Head Coach Doug Neagle – "It's hard to believe another season has started. It's fitting that today is "National Girls & Women in Sports Day," and our first match. I'm lucky to coach these young ladies and all female athletes should be celebrated. It's nice to start out with a win against a much improved Florida National team."
