“At the beginning of our season, if you had asked anyone on this team if we thought winning a national championship was a possibility, it wasn’t even on our radar. By the time we got to the national tournament, all of the pieces were falling in place. There wasn’t an ounce of grit and determination that wasn’t left on that championship floor, and the trust that everyone had in each other almost felt tangible. It truly felt like no stage was too big, and I couldn’t be more proud of what this team has accomplished.”
