Thoughts from Coach Mayben
"Grateful for everyone that made getting games in yesterday and today possible. The umpires, grounds crews at both Ripon and Sierra College, and especially coach Campbell and her staff. Proud of how well our team completed through adverse travel and weather, being flexible with the unknown, and then playing two solid games. Getting a split on the road against the reigning conference champs was an important step in our maturation as a program."
