COACH EMMA FURNISH'S COMMENTS

I truly love this team with my whole heart! I could not be prouder of them. All their hard work finally paid off with a very successful weekend.
I also want to give a special shoutout to our three seniors Heather Karm, Matthew Hayward and Cameron Stanley. Thank you for sticking with it for the past four years! I know that a college decision right after COVID was tricky, but I am glad that you chose AU! Thank you for everything you have poured into this program. You have definitely left your positive mark. I can't wait to watch your Raven wings SOAR to your next endeavor!
