With our first practices around the corner, we are fired up and building our enthusiasm for our spring season ahead. Our first dual matches begin with a doubleheader on March 1st in Middlebury! Lots of work to build and prepare, but excited for what is to come! We begin the year ranked #5 in the ITA pre-season national poll, and cannot wait see where we can go this year. Our squad is a beautiful combination of experience, youth, and a willingness to improve and grow. In this blog post we spotlight our freshmen class, share our Spring 2024 dual match schedule, and share our collective excitement for what is ahead!

| Can't wait to circle it up for our dual matches, first ones on March 1st! |
We have been working incredibly hard and it is always a special experience to see our veteran players demonstrate their leadership and growth as they continue to put in work during our developmental season. Each of our Panthers has been locking in to aspects of their game that will help them to become stronger and more well-balanced team members. Another key shout out the coaching staff wants highlight is that our players really stepped up during our community service project in December where we partnered with the HOPE foundation to provide holiday gifts to families in need in Addison County. Our players had a blast and gathered a huge number of toys and needed items this holiday season!
