Since I had the bachelor’s degree in the field, I was told about the job. That’s how I got into the job.” Said new asst. coach Scott. “As the assistant coach I help the head coach will different things. Such as the business end of the sport and a lot of the behind the scenes stuff. I basically do whatever he needs.” In regard to his the conditioning of the team he continued, “I also run a conditioning session a few times a week. We condition and weight lift. It is my main responsibility to make sure that the team is strong and fit for competition.” He went on to say, “I hope that the ladies will be strong and conditioned enough to compete in the GLIAC (Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference).”

The team is looking to bounce back from a disappointing season where they only won only 5 matches and only 2 in the conference. “The athletes and coaches are all pretty excited about the season. We all feel we have the talent and potential to go far in the conference,” said Scott.
