    Feb 17, Rockford Lose Kristen Zaleski and Lindsay Gardner to Retirement

    Zaleski is a big loss for the team. She is the all-time league leader in steals, and was still going strong last year, finishing 3rd in the league. Gardner provided some of the power for the team, so she too will be missed. Bad for Rockford, but good for us.
