“The team is ready to hit the road to face the defending SoCon champions in Colorado Springs. This past week was spring break for us at JU, which allowed us to take a step back from X’s and O’s and focus on the two areas that will help us find our first victory: discipline and fundamentals. The challenge in Colorado Springs will be great, but I am excited to continue the growth of this team as we dive deeper into conference play.” – Head Coach John Galloway
