In this newsletter… Happy Holidays and Warmest Wishes from our Bishop Family to yours! As we approach a new year, we wanted to take a moment to recap this past semester and all the accomplishments of our program. We also wanted to thank you all for your endless support, near and far, the tireless encouragement and the cheers, in the stands and through the computers! We wouldn’t be the program we are without you! Go Bishops!
A NOTE FROM COACH To bring home an NCAC title, for the 1st time in history, is something that I’ve been working towards since I got here. Now that we’ve done it, it’s been such an amazing feeling and I am so unbelievably proud of the coaches & players for their hard work and dedication. This year, there’s been ups & downs but there was never any doubt we could win it all. We never lost sight of our team goals. This win is for every OWUFH player and family. Looking forward to more years like this! -Head Coach Brenda Semit
