BRUINS BID FAREWELL TO 5 SENIORS
When all was said and done, the Bruins bid farewell to five seniors: Mallory James, Erin Paton, Ashley Schuler, Megan Young and MacKenzie Scott. Although the others received the accolades, Scott turned out to be one of the team's most versatile players. Recovering from knee surgery at the start of the season, Scott came back to play middle, setter, and eventually right side hitter on one of the strongest Bruin teams in years.
