The rising senior class contains a trio of consistent scorers in Tay, Rollins, and captain-elect Niki Finelli, with veteran forwards Emma Moretzsohn and Liz Tindal ready to play big roles. “We have all the tools we need,” Delaney-Smith said. “This team is highly motivated right now.” The motivation grows from the familiar feeling...
