put together an amazing season. Sisters Morgan and Maddie Misfeldt
were dominant at the no. 1 & 2 positions throughout the season
while Natalie Burton, Meghan Harris and Mackenzie Means rounded out
the rest of the talented varsity line-up.
The team placed 2nd in the city tournament with many varsity girls
placing and earning medals. This upcoming season should be one of
our strongest with five of our six varsity girls remaining and a
strong junior varsity group ready to fill in any gaps.
