"That is a wrap on a record breaking 2017/18 season," head coach Rhyll Brinsmead said. "I could not be more proud of this team and all they've accomplished. They will be the first team in program history to finish the season ranked inside the top 50, win an ASUN championship and shoot a post season 54-hole scoring record. It is amazing to reflect on what we have accomplished this year and the foundation for the future. We will miss Henriette tremendously but she has laid the foundation for the future success of this program. Thank you Henri for everything you've done!"
