Quoting Foley
"This is the main event for us each fall. It exposes us to some of the best individual players as well as teams in the country and we will also come across some familiar faces," assistant head coach Miranda Foley said. "Every opportunity we get to compete, gives us the chance to put into play what we have been working on in practice, and the girls have been working hard and improving. We must enjoy the process of the developmental stage we are in as a team and I look forward to watching the girls continue to get better as individuals which will ultimately help the team."
