So proud of Brielle Kenny and everything she’s accomplishing this season!

This past weekend, Brielle went 3-0 in the circle to help lead her team to a Regional Championship and punch their ticket to NCAA Division III Super Regionals NEXT weekend!

Nothing better than seeing hard work come full circle.

Today, two of our own faced off on the field—but what makes it even more special is the bond they built long before they were ever opponents. Through their time with me, they pushed each other, grew together, and built a friendship that goes far beyond the lines of competition.

Now competing at the next level, it’s a full-circle moment that reminds us what this is all about—development, opportunity, and relationships that last well beyond the game.

Proud of these two for representing themselves and everything they’ve worked for. The future is bright. 💪
