"We have been working hard all fall and offseason to get ready for a tough spring schedule. Our players are excited to get some experience down in Enid, Oklahoma; the site for the NJCAA Division II World Series. We are scheduled to play some good teams early in the year in hopes to get ready for our tough conference slate. We still have a good three months ahead of us to get our work in to be ready, and I know our players are up for the challenge."
