“I’m just excited for the girls, that their hard work is paying off and they’re getting rewarded for it,” Head Coach Joel Reints says. “It’s the right time to be trending upward. The season’s actually winding down right after Christmas break, so it’s a good time for us to get a break, heal up and rest a little bit and refresh. This confidence boost going into break is huge for us, so hopefully we wrestle with a ton of confidence in the back stretch.”
