What makes this team and this year so special?
“This year and this season have been very different because of COVID but all the girls and our coaches were determined to make this season great, and it was truly an amazing season.”
How was Mid-Penn's?
“Mid-Penn’s were great this year. As a team, everyone did really well and several of us were able to move on to the semi-finals, which was very exciting. Although Halee Taylor and I fell short in the finals, we both had amazing matches. We were both able to finish strong for our senior season and we both received silver medals. Overall, we had a really strong team this year and an amazing group of girls.”
Halee Taylor
What were your goals for your senior season?
“My goal this season was to just make the best out of it. Our season was cut shorter than normal, I made the best out of it by having fun and trying my best.”
Did you accomplish these goals?
“I definitely accomplished my goals this year. It was one of the best seasons I have ever had. I loved how well the team got along and how we always managed to have fun.”
What makes this team this year so special?
“This team is so special because we are all best friends. We are always there to cheer each other on and make each other laugh.”
How was Mid-Penn's?
“This year's Mid-Penn Tournament was the best one our team has experienced. We had more players reach the semi-finals than we ever had previously. Both Lindsay and I placed second in our brackets.”
What is some advice you would give to underclassmen?
“Do not put too much pressure on yourself. Just go out there with a goal of having fun and try your best. Worrying too much about winning or losing can take a lot of fun away from the sport.”
