Coach’s Comments: 

“We have talent, but are short on experience. We have a tough opener at St. Edward’s in Ohio, and it’s a good challenge. We are developing and competing, but we will inevitably experience growing pains. The players are working hard, and it is fun to coach them.” – Head Coach Brian Bowers
