2024 OUTLOOK

"We return quite a bit of experience from the 2023 spring, but we will need to find a way to replace our top two arms and two of our top three hitters. Several new faces will have opportunities on the mound and at the plate. I'm excited to see how this group of seniors leads our program this year." - Scott Bartholomew, Head Coach
