A few of our starters were out, and the younger girls stepped up.” said Jaime Stafford. “Tbe other team was physical. We are not used to a physical game.” Sunday’s game wasa rougb game for tbe team because of tbeir 7 to 6 loss to Randolf Macon on Saturday. Tbe team worked bard to come back after being down by three in SaUirday’s game. Because of injuries there were also a few key players who could not play in Sunday’s game. "I think this season bas been frus trating for all of us,” said Sara Dixon, “It is always bard to be behind, but we always play with alot of heart We are defmtely a young team, and 1 think one way we can improve as a team is to communicate better on the field.
