Head coach
Jen Conely had this to say after knocking off no. 5 Ferris State, "Big win against Ferris State! That's a great team that is well coached and is going to win a lot of games. I'm happy for our team to get off to a 2-0 start in the GLIAC. Our squad played solid on both ends; worked together on offense and made extra passes to get great instead of good shots, and also showed a lot of heart and hustle on the defensive side of the ball too. This was a big week for us, to go 3-0 against this type of competition is impressive. I'm proud of our squad and I know that they are determined to continue to improve and gel moving forward."
