Quote from Coach
"As a former student-athlete who competed in the CAA and wanted very much to have an indoor conference championship back then, this was a full-circle moment for me to lead our women in the inaugural competition. Being competitive was the goal, regardless of where we stood as a team. We finished within reach of the top of the conference, I think that says a lot about our future!" -Head coach Consandria Walker-Hall
