Girls varsity water polo is off to a great start. Lincoln Lion Tales interviewed Hazel Stange and Hannah Hathaway to ask how the season had been going so far.

Hazel said, “It started off […] rocky with a few losses [but] we have improved greatly.”

When asked about team chemistry they responded, “At first we did not work together [as] there [were] a lot of juniors, seniors, and even some sophomores, but as the season went on we have learned to work well together as a team”.

Finally, when asked if the team could make it to C.C.S they said “Definitely!”
