“Our ladies continue to take advantage of opportunities to practice and solidify offense and defense work when competing against less skilled programs,” Cleveland being in a developing stage within their program, said head coach Andrew McElderry. “We have been working towards getting the ladies to understand and value opportunities to use every moment as a learning session. We then are better prepared for the tough games.”
