"The schedule was with a purpose! To get our club in front of national champions in an effort to speed up our growth as a team. This team has the ability to play in the national tournament again this year and when we get there, our guys will know exactly what to expect. We have a growth minded group who knows how to navigate the early part of our schedule on the road. Looking forward to our home opener on Wednesday!"
