ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO SAY ABOUT TEAM, SEASON
I am looking forward to watching this team grow collectively and individually as basketball players and people. I want to see our team rise up when we face adversity and be committed to being our best each day, whether on or off the court. The season will be a year of a lot of learning and building confidence for Georgetown girl’s basketball with a younger roster and new coach. We are on a good trajectory as a team and I am looking forward to us rising up over the course of the season.
