Quote from CU head coach Hayley Dann: "Coach Anthony and I are incredibly proud of the work and improvement the ladies have shown this year. They set a goal the second half of the season to finish in the top 5 in every remaining regular season tournament, and they did just that. Their commitment to accomplish their goals is what earned them the postseason berth to the ITC Sectional Qualifier. This was a great experience for them, getting the chance to compete against some of the best teams in the nation. It really showed them what they're capable of as well as how much farther they can continue to grow. Seeing the growth of this program has been exciting for Anthony and myself. We cannot wait to see these athletes continue to break program records and make school history. Go Cougars!"

"We also want to bid a warm farewell to our seniors: Jamie Crandell, Erica Pyden, Zach DeLong and their 4 years of commitment and dedication to the program. We wish you nothing but the best in your future endeavors! Next stop, graduation! Good luck!"
