Kwyn Cooper found UNLV softball’s first team bonding activity in the fall a little intimidating. That’s what happens when six freshmen and six new transfers make up more than half of your 23-person roster.
“I was like ‘Oh my God, how am I going to get to know everyone?’ ” Cooper, a senior, said. “It was way easier than I thought it would be. In the past we’ve had problems. This year, we really decided to just come together as one, play for one another, stick together as a unit.”
While Cooper said the Rebels have dealt with cliques and drama within the team in the past, this season the veterans and newcomers have come together almost seamlessly.
