“One of the things I tell our recruits is this: you can go somewhere and blend in or you can go somewhere and matter,” head coach Eddie Broughton, Sr. said. “These young ladies chose to leave a legacy. They poured themselves into this program and carved their names into it and they are not done yet. It is exciting to see and to be a part of.”
