Quoting Coach Juli Erekson
"We're super excited to start the season a bit earlier this year and head to the Texas State event in New Braunfels. It will be a great opportunity to get out on grass sooner and build some confidence. We're looking forward to having Maria (Ortiz) share a bit of her home state in Texas with us. The girls are in a great mind space and physically strong. It'll be fun to watch their first event this year."
