The season is wrapping up quickly and with only three home matches left we are really excited to embrace every opportunity we have to play at home. We are ready to go, and we know that South Carolina is going to be tough hard-fought battle. I am excited for the girls to get to compete at home. I hope to see everyone there Wednesday."
