COACH'S CORNER
"Our ladies looked phenomenal tonight. We were missing a few weights and had a few of our ladies bump up a weight class for the team.
Emma De Brumreally stood out tonight in her exhibition match. She started the night off with a bang! I'm really proud of her and the rest of the team. It was also nice to see a few of our girls return to the mat from their injuries. We've got a a little over a month now to make more improvements before national duals."
– Coach
Kevin Corbett
