Well that's exactly what they did! Even though the team had quite a fevv injuries during the season, this situa' tion actually proved advantageous, Since the injuries befell players in a lead, ership position, many of the team meme bers were able to assume a captain role. On this sulject, Coach McLaughlin come mented, Now we have a strong lead, ership situation. We had five different captains throughout the season and they all had a chance to see what it was Iilse. It helped the team when Kelly McGhe- hey Cout with injuryl returned because they all lools up ta her.
