“Not the outcome we desired tonight, but I am really proud of this group of girls for how hard they worked in practice, how they jelled as a team and obviously how they competed in games,” Cal-Mum head coach Dan Dickens said via email. “Everyone is good at this point of the season and you have to play your “A game.” Tonight wasn’t our night, but they have nothing to hang their heads about. I can’t say enough good things about our four seniors Shea Drazkowski, Colleen Talty, Mia Wilson and Emma Wyskiel. These are four great young women whom I am fortunate to have coached and competed with over these last four years.”
