Head Coach Erika Brennan

“The team is in a great place heading into spring season and the work ethic has been on full display.  They are hungry to achieve at the highest level and have put in the work to back up their ambition.  This tournament will require a sharp short-game and strong mental outlook.  We can’t be afraid to be play aggressive when the opportunities present themselves.  We look forward to the challenge!”
