BEHIND THE WHISTLE
"This was a great season opener. We were able to test ourselves against some of the top D3 and D2 competition in the country early in the year. Having 13 placers with three finalists and a champion made for an exciting day. Shout out to the families and friends that came out to Alliance, Ohio, to support us and make a lot of noise. Back to the lab to make adjustments and prep for the Cougar open next weekend."
--Head Coach Logan Meister
