Head Coach Richard Moodie
"It's not an easy schedule that these young ladies have had. We've had to travel a lot and perform on the road. We had to be at the airport at 4 a.m. yesterday. They have to stay on top of studies, training and travel. To do what they do is phenomenal, and it's just a special group of student athletes. We could not be prouder in these moments where we've got success, but to look at what they do each and every day is phenomenal. It's a special group of individuals."
 
UP NEXT
The Jaguars return home to The Cage for the home finale on Sunday at noon. Sunday's match is senior day and the Jags will honor six seniors – Gabrielle Gayle, Carly Williams, Laurence Saviana, Morgan Cross, Danielle Fuentes and Nour Imane Addi.
