COACH SHIGLEY SAYS…

• “The girls continue to impress me as the season progresses. This is one of Bethel’s best teams in several years yet we only lost seven games in nine matches. The 46 matches we played last year is giving this young team tremendous experience. The sophomores are play like seniors. It is going to be an exciting year.”
