Although the season, was shortened due to COVID-19, I grew as a player and am eager to keep growing. In my sophomore year, we had a fantastic season. We pushed one another during practice to make the team, as a whole better. We played the top teams and the state and hung in there with them. We made it to the quarterfinals of NJSIAA group IV tournament. During my Junior season has come with great success.
