Team Introductions: Our Junior Class

This year's women's junior class is the first to be recruited by Head Coach Andy Bashor. During their freshman year, the team jumped from a 8th place finish in 2007 at the MAC Championships to a 5th place finish in 2008, and their preformances helped make that happen. The men's team experienced a much smaller class that same season as a change of head coaches was felt during the recruiting process. These 3 men have improved tremendously over the past 2 season and we are excited to see how much more they will improve this season.
