Strubbe has been a leading force of the offense as she now has six total shots and five shots on goal through the first two games.

FROM THE SOURCE
Head Coach Becca Main
"We're getting a good read on who we are and what we have as strengths and weaknesses, and we need to adapt our specialty units towards the direction that we can be magnificent, glow, empower each other and build off each other. That's the biggest learning lesson from the moment."

"I'm excited about being able to tactically make decisions and also do a better job of what we're doing with our bodies. There are some younger players that have found their niche and found a lot of playing time so it's been fun to develop them. We've also gotten some strong leadership from our senior class. We have a lot of the pieces, it's just a matter of putting them together in time for Tuesday, which is totally doable."
