Coach's Comments:
Coach Damon Amey was extremely pleased to earn this important conference victory on Sophomore Day at Delta College. We are fortunate to get a number of challenging games at the end of the season as we prepare for the postseason tournaments. We will regroup and get ready for another tough game against Schoolcraft on next Wednesday. That game will determine the conference title.


Adjustments for the next Game:
We will continue to focus on a controlled creative combination game in the final attacking third of the field. The Pioneers will be traveling to Lakeland CC on Saturday the 14th. The Pioneers currently have a #1 National ranking.
