Abigail Call (Rome, NY/Rome Free Academy) had two listings in the All-Conference Teams, earning Third Team Singles and Third Team Doubles along with Anna Gwozdz (South Wales, NY/Iroquois).
 
"Incredibly proud of our team this year. This was a special group and one of the most fun teams I have had the pleasure of coaching," Head Coach Jordan Crouch said.

Can't wait to train with them again in the spring!"
