PRIDE ANNOUNCES CAPTAINS FOR 2011-12

The men’s squad will be Captained by senior Schallum Dorleans, reprising the title he has previously held in seasons past. With the men’s team in only its third year, Dorleans will lead a young squad, packed with new talent. His experience as an athlete and as an upperclassman will be indispensible as recruiting efforts has quickly boosted the roster size to double-digits. Say Head Coach Kloiber of Dorleans, “We have a great new batch of athletes that are radiating talent and super-charged energy, having Schallum as their Captain will ensure that potential is harnessed within each practice. He’s been through it all, knows what needs to be done, and is always ready to help the new guys out when they need. The men’s team has had a good string of Captains so far, which will only lead to success for everyone involved.”

 

On the Women’s side, junior Anyah Hernandez and sophomore Katherine Warner will be taking the reins. The two were selected for the first time as co-captains this year, but Kloiber says their selection was a natural choice. “Anyah and Katherine bring a lot of positive energy to practice, and they exude what the team needs in its captains: commitment, passion, integrity, and a very giving attitude when it comes to supporting their teammates. It’s their first time out, and there will be a learning curve, but they wouldn’t have been chosen if the coaching staff didn’t have the utmost confidence in their leadership abilities. I know the ladies will be great.”
