2015 Fall Women Portal
Enduring through a coaching transition, the ladies caught fire towards the end of the season to make it through to the D1 East Championships, losing narrowly to U Conn. Many of the team were new to the sport, but caught on quickly and are expected to remain with the game for years to come.
