Although she will not be returning next season, the time she spent practicing, playing and bonding with the girls on her team will not be forgotten anytime soon.

“Even though we lost, I am satisfied with the way we ended the season,” Graff said. “We tried so hard all season and our hard work has definitely paid off. I am so proud of my teammates for trying their hardest on the court and improving so much throughout the season. I am going to miss my teammates next year, but I will always remember the memories I made.”

According to sophomore Gaby Siqueiros, she enjoyed playing with her teammates during the season.

“It does not matter to me that we lost,” Siqueiros said. “I enjoyed this season so much. We got close to each other and I was able to go to the older girls for advice both on and off the court. I am so glad that I got to play with such amazing girls this season and I am looking forward to next season.”

The season stats were not made available by the Eagles’ coach. He also remains unavailable for comment.
