double-elimination tournament
against the 42-21 Broncos after
defeating Massachusetts and
Connecticut to win the North

California. I’m just glad we're
going."
For head coach Teresa
Wilson, who played in the Soft

pitcher and will become the
first person to both play and
coach there, it's a special time.
“It brings back a lot of mem

special Iasi time because 1 got
to hand my mom and dad an
All-American certificate.''
