OF NOTE
Tim Wilson named Women's Coach of the Year. "I could not be prouder of our program" said Head Coach
Tim Wilson. "From the coaching staff to the athletes, this weekend was a great culmination to a fantastic season. We knew it would be a battle, and the women were prepared for the moment. The program saw numerous records fall from the result of all the hard work put in. I'm going to miss this group of women next year but couldn't be happier for them to wrap up their careers with a team championship."
