Fort Miami Co-Coach Mike Hayden said his team is ready to play after qualifying for the final eight of the women’s DII club playoffs.

Led by co-captains KayJay McAuley (prop) and Michelle Horevitz (lock) Fort Miami is looking to continue their improvement.  Brie Cokos and Devin Huber hold down a backline that has gotten better throughout the season, thanks also to the addition of Sam Adams, Dana Esposito and Tatum Walker.

Loose forwards Maureen Arcila and Virginia Perez, both loose forwards, “played exceptionally well at the South championships,” added Hayden.

All of these pieces need come together.

“We’ve seen improvement in team defense and fitness this season,” said Hayden. “Now we need to play strong team defense and get into our flow offensively to win.”
