HOUND BYTES
Head coach Mitchell on the team, Schiedt and Hill...
"I'm just really proud of our young women... those two young women (Mya Schiedt and
Sadie Hill) mean everything to this program, I came in here, new, didn't know anyone, their leadership really helped us inside the locker room and on the court. They have two different leadership styles, but both were needed. They really helped me through my first season."
