QUOTING HEAD COACH Megan Menzel
“The team has done a lot of work the past two weeks in preparation for the Mountain View Collegiate. We have Shelby back healthy which will be huge for us and the team gained a lot of confidence in our final round in Phoenix. Additionally, we are really looking forward to playing our two matches at Red Mountain. They are very generous to host us and it is a great facility for us to work on our games. Harvard and Iowa State are both solid teams so it will be a great opportunity for us to see where we are as a team. It is always fun to play against some of the best teams in the country.”
