When asked about the team’s motivation and morale, Coach Barton commented; “The team chemistry has contributed to the motivation to play well. The girls have no issues with each other, they play hard for each other.” Team chemistry is always one of the most important aspects of a successful team. Coach Barton also said; ”They trust each other, and always do their best to get better everyday.”
