Comments from Head Women's Basketball Coach, Andrew Morong, "Our players know that they are probably sacrificing individual accolades to win championships at CM - and this year was just another example of that. These women play for each other and represent our program, college, and state with total class. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments thus far and are excited to head to Virginia to continue our season together."
