At the end of the battle for conference and division champs, both teams will have to say good-bye to seniors Alfredo Desiati, Tucker Mueck, Hannah Kelley, and sisters Laura and Julia Mongin.

“As a senior, I couldn’t have asked for a better last season,” Kelley said. “I think our team as a whole has matured through having to step up in various matches.”
