She looks forward to continuing to strengthen a program grounded in purpose, aligning with Concordia’s mission of "Building Lives of Excellence Upon the Foundation of Christ."
 
Coach Franco shared, “I’m truly excited to lead this program into its next chapter and pour into these young women daily. With a strong foundation already in place, my goal is to continue elevating the standard where accountability is real, growth is intentional, and our players are prepared to lead with confidence in every area of their lives.”
 
Please join us in congratulating Coach Franco on this well-earned opportunity.
