2020 - No season due to Covid. 

Personal: Full name is Vanessa Leeann Ryhal ... daughter of Cornelia and Todd Ryhal ... has a brother Daniel ... Accounting major ... High school coaches were Timothy and Cynthia Lyons ... why she chose Fredonia State: "I chose Fredonia because its just far enough to meet new people and experience a new environment but also not too far from home. Visiting I could feel the tight knit community students and staff had for each other. Coming from a small school this is exactly what I was looking for to feel comfortable. The team and coaches also had a big influence, they were all so nice and funny, and seemed like a very good support system to have. These were the first coaches to reach out to me. But when they sent out a thank you for visiting card, etc., it pretty much sold me."
