A NOTE FROM COACH We are unbelievably proud of the season that we had this year! Word’s cannot express how grateful we are to work with this amazing group of women!

From an undefeated regular season, to breaking records left and right, our hearts never wavered.

Although we didn’t end our season the way we all wanted to, we cannot deny that this was one of the best regular seasons in program history. We are excited for the future and know this will only make us stronger.

-Head Coach Brenda Semit

LOOKING FORWARD Next fall, we are looking to increase our competition to the highest level yet! We will be traveling to Massachusetts to play Smith College, Virginia to play CNU, and Kentucky to play Centre and Rhodes.

SUrprISe We are also looking to travel abroad this summer and hope to reconnect with our Dutch family!

Fall 2023 Recap 13

FUNDRAISING Last year, we promised to travel more and play more competitive teams, which we did!

We hit the road and played in Pennsylvania, New York and Tennessee!

Traveling this much wouldn’t be possible without all your support! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

2024 $ 40,000

We also promised to provide every player with new turf shoes! Each player was provided with new shoes, which really helped our team stay healthy through the long season!

We hope to continue providing new shoes every year for safety!

This year, with so much traveling again, we will need to raise just as much to support the travel to higher competition! Playing higher ranked teams allows us to be recognized for At Large NCAA bids and our players to be recognized more on the national level.

We’d also use some of that to help pay some of the way for our trip to the Netherlands!!!
