The squad will compete at the GVSU Region 12 tournament on Saturday, March 19.
“This last tournament was good, it helped us see where we can improve going to regionals and states,” senior Aashray Mandala said. “There’s only room for improvement going forward because we see what we’re struggling on and we can apply that going forward.”
