Coach Rueck: "Here we are starting another year in what all of us I know believe is the best conference in the country. It has been the last two years at least.
We're excited about our team. This is a team that just a year ago lost some really important people and found a way. This group has that same opportunity this year. We lost a few really important people to our program, and now it's their turn to step into those roles.
I love this team. They're tight-knit, they're tough. They realize they've got to adapt to a new environment, a new demand, and they're ready for it.
So we're excited."
Marie Gulich: "I see a lot of hard work and a lot of heart going into practices. Everyone is dialed in and focused. Scott already said we're missing some players who were very influential last season, and everyone knows that. Everyone is willing to take on the role. And I'm super excited to see that and also to feel how everyone takes it on and embraces it."
Mikayla Pivec: "I think going forward new roles have to be established. I'll have to be more vocal. I'm not the loudest, but I know if I lead by example, that's a good way to lead as well.
Just to continue to encourage the underclassmen. If they have any questions, they can come to me and ask to get good advice."
