I was super proud of them for how we played in the Neuqua Valley match especially with it being our third match in a row and our fourth of the day. We battled really hard and were able to pick up a big win after losing to them earlier in the season. I believe we got second place and Kaneland placed first but we haven’t received the official results yet.”
