If you have reached out either personally or via social media, we have been encouraged. If you have traveled or seen us play in person, we have fed off of the energy you brought. There was a legacy before this team and we are so proud to have taken it farther this year
BEARS WIN! Goals from Stephanie Figueiredo, Scarlett Kelly, Kara Gavaghan, and Abbie Biddle lift the bears over the Cobras.

It does not matter what others believe you can do. It only matters what you believe you can do. When many people come together with the same vision, they can sustain the storms and empower and each other which will carry them farther than they can go on their own.
A massive thank you to our new team mentor, life and leadership coach, Chuck Myers for equipping our girls with everything they need to be successful on and off the field. So thankful to have you as part of our team!🐻⚽️
