"It was great to see the team compete," said Varsity Reds head coach Jason Reindl. "Our women's team has grown significantly compared to last year and while our performances as a whole weren't spectacular, we are continuing to remind everyone that it is early. The focus is on the AUS Championships at the end of February."
