The Rams won their first game of the 2022 season, 20-0 against Mattawan. Coach Neumen said that the teams offense has had so much success because of the girls who returned to the team this season.

"A lot of people doubted us going into this season but just everyone coming together, the young ones and the older ones, we just all came together as a team. We have really good chemistry," said senior attack Mackenzie Delachar.
