“Bella is a consistent leader that can always be counted on. Mikayla is a positive force that completes whatever task is asked of her. Camila is the optimistic player that provides energy which is oftentimes missing from the game. Maddie is the aggressive force that challenges everyone on the team to be their best, and Andrea, although she didn’t play this year, did provide power in the few games she played,” Cuesta explained.
