Head Coach Savannah Buck was full of excitement after witnessing how great her athletes performed and how they responded under pressure.

“It’s absolutely amazing and I’m so proud of every one of them,” Buck said. “Kyleigh did really great on the mound and we had some timely hits and defense did amazing.”

Now that the Lady Flashes got their first win of the season, they will strive to to keep it going this weekend when they head to play in a tournament.
