COBRA'S CORNER
"This is what we have worked for since day one in the fall. I always tell the team that we have to peak at the right time and this is the perfect example of us doing so. With three freshman in the lineup, we really had to challenge them. I'm so proud of our team for wanting it more than anyone else. The weather conditions made things tough, but we found a way. I am really happy for this team and the future of the this program. I want to say thank you to all of our fans that came to support us and helped us come out with the title. Thank you to our awesome staff that helped us host a top-notch tournament!" - Head Coach Mariana Cobra
