what it takes to get here and the privilege it is to play in the NCAA Championship. This program is one of only a handful in the country that have been out here seven times in the last eight seasons, and that is something we absolutely hang our hat on. It
stings a little bit at the moment, but I could not be prouder of what this group overcame to get to this point and earn their way here. It’s obviously going to hurt losing BaiMai and everything she has done for us over the last four seasons, but I really like
the core we have coming back. I can't wait to get back to work and do everything we can to get back here next season."</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;mso-ligatures:none"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
