Key Quotes
Georgia Head Coach Meghan Boenig
On the excitement for the season…
I think the excitement starting like this, and having this much present early on, just means our learning projection and route is not stepping off the gas. It will continue, but it allows us to go that much further. There's so much competency. There's so much talent. There's so much work ethic and drive already happening. Putting that to use and not having to worry about some of those culture issues just allows us to be able to hone in on some details and some fine moments to push ourselves to be a top.
