“I would always prefer not to start at No. 1, but this team has earned it,” head coach Greg Williams said. “I don’t know who to be more amazed at right now, the team or Coach (Jessica) Braswell and Coach (Mary) Meneely. They constantly keep bringing riders to new height while keeping the hard-nose work that I love in play.”
