Each Senior had a chance to thank friends, family, and teammates during the ceremony with Head Coach Scot MacAllister thanking all of them for their years of service.
After the game, Coach MacAllister praised them for their ability to change the program for the better saying, "These seniors have laid the foundation for building a successful program. They have returned it to a culture of accountability, strong work ethic, and taking care of each other. They have done an outstanding job of establishing a positive perception of Pomeroys Women's Basketball on campus and with recruits."
He also talked about the chance to coach them and how proud he is of them. "They have been such a joy to work with as they truly care about their teammates and the program. We say, 'Program trumps everything,' and they live it. Their goal, all year long, has been to leave the program better for the groups behind them. They're growth as people and leaders has been phenomenal throughout this year! Whatever they choose to do as they leave the Woods, I know that they'll be successful as they will RISE UP and battle anything that the world throws at them!"
