The Herald spoke with freshman guard Grace Ledford about the end of the team’s season. When asked about the team’s outlook on this week’s losses, Ledford said, “Our attitude remains positive because we love each other and love being around each other. Obviously losing isn’t fun, but it’s fun to be a part of this team.”


Ledford added that “it was a rough season all around, but we had fun competing…the team is like a family; we come to practice and games every day because we love basketball.”


Despite losing their last two games, the team had a few highlights, including beating rival William Peace University twice and junior Kate Perko reaching 1,000 career points.
