Since the start of the season, there’s been no let up for Joseph Case’s championship-driven softball team - The Boston Globe

“When you know your coach believes in you, and when you know your coach has confidence in you, it’s definitely an important thing.”

“From the first practice, [coach Shannon Silva ] made it very, very clear she is expecting nothing less than she expected last year, this team is still just as good,” said Skye Dupre , a junior captain.
