As head coach Jim Thomas said, “That’s the thing that we are most excited about is to see what the players really draw out of it and how we as a coaching staff can mold that towards preparing them for life, doing better in the classroom and doing better on the pitch.”

The women will first travel to Barcelona and then continue onto the Basque Country, specifically to Donostia.
