Quotable
Jenkerson has already clearly established goals for her Fighting Scots squad:
“My goal is to empower the ladies within this program and give them the tools to seek continued excellence on and off the field. When these players come in as girls, my goal would be to mentor them, so they leave as women who have deepened their faith and are strong and confident in what they pursue."
