“We have five seniors, so there’s a lot of experience, combined with the fact that our underclassmen are mature as players too,” she continued.
After two long months, the team is anxious to take its first steps in pursuit of the Ivy title this weekend against Brown and Yale.
“We’re very prepared this year to face our opponents [in the Ivy League],” Bettinelli said.
In the team’s title run, Flaherty acknowledges that work remains to be done.
“We have to be consistent and play tough against every team, and can’t wait for something to click,” she said. “We want to peak at the right time.”
Based on their leadership thus far, there is no doubt that both Flaherty and Bettinelli will do all they can to ensure that “the right time” starts with this weekend.
