PREGAME COMMENTS FROM COACH SPEAR
We are very excited for our A-10 opener! The players, coaches, and staff have been building towards this day since the final game of the 2017 Fall season. Conference games always offer an added dose of urgency and importance. So our preparation, execution, and unity are essential.
The program is honored and inspired to partner with Go4theGoal. Cancer has impacted us all, and anything we can do to promote awareness, funding and hope is important. It underlines that well-being is paramount and that we can utilize sports for higher aims.
