Strengths/Question Marks: “We have a solid core of upperclassmen, along with a spectacular group of incoming freshmen. We have a lot of ground to make up from last year but are willing to put in the work. We’ve really come together throughout the summer and so look forward to this upcoming season!”

Outlook:  “The goal this year is to compete more than we have in the past. We realize that we are in a very difficult conference and division and know that we must take the first steps in order to make ourselves better in certain aspects on the field. We are trying to lay the groundwork for a more competitive chemistry and culture. As a young program, we are, in the true sense of the Owl, learning to fly!”
