Piv's Perspective
"We had a pretty successful preseason, learning from our wins and losses, and feel that it will provide us with many valuable experiences to use during the NSIC regular season. We know the NSIC will again be challenging this season and have the most respect for all the teams across the best league in the country. I know our kids are excited and ready for the challenge - we can't wait to continue this home stretch!" said Head Coach Shannon Pivovar.
