"This season has been the most challenging of my career but to the credit of these women & our staff it has also become the most rewarding." Said Head Coach Brandon Elliott, "My mom used to tell me you don't know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. They epitomized that quote and deserve all the joy that comes with their success. When they hurt, I hurt, but man….when they win, I also win. Never been prouder to lead this program."
