Post season play will start the next week with a time, date, and opponent still to be decided. 

"Every single practice this year has been aimed at postseason play," Head Coach Jaci Gross said. "We are focused, we are determined, and we are prepared. I think it's reasonable to say that we are all ready to wrap up league play and head to the playoffs."
