“SPIRE Women’s Basketball is truly about to make a jump. We have a phenomenal team coming in, and we could not be more excited to get them here in August. Our day-to-day culture will be about being on point on campus, in the classroom, and on the court, which will translate to a strong team-first mentality that we will bring when we play. I am excited to watch them grow together as a team both on and off the court.”
