“It’s been a crazy year with our team being temporarily shut down from COVID and also having to cancel events because of snow, ice and flooding,” Aberdeen head coach Craig Yakovich said. “It’s tough for these girls to keep on practicing hard without the benefit of competing, so to finally get back out on the mat, they definitely didn’t disappoint.”
