Shamrocks coach Sandra Burks said that the team was used to the multiple matches, since this type of schedule is played by club teams during the off-season. Burks said that from the first week to now she is seeing more of the team’s pieces coming together and looks for the trend to continue into the ultimate season playoff: The sectional. Westfield is also hoping to see a few more wins along the way against its challenging schedule.
