What a great effort by the NR ladies and staff. They came up short this time but they got the pieces and experience to go the distance. Fun to watch an “upstart” program work their way up and beat some established teams. Hold your heads up….you have so much to be proud of. You put NR lax on the map with great excitement. Congrats, a job well done by everyone.
