SEASON REVIEW

We ended our season last Saturday with a hard-fought loss at Lake Forest. The program hosted a number of our alums and recruits at the game and it was nice to be amongst past and future Pioneers.

Here are some statistics from the season:

1. 9-13 overall/ 8-10 MWC (Most conference wins since 03-04)

2. Finished ranked 6th in the conference (3 wins out of the tournament)

3. In the second semester our record was 8-7.

4. There are only three schools (St. Norbert, Monmoth, Lake Forest) who beat us twice in the conference, we either split with, or swept the remaining 6 schools.

We took a big step forward this season. We proved to our conference opponents that we could compete with, and beat, many of the best teams. Our challenge next year is to continue to improve, to be more competitive at the beginning of the season, and to really address and focus on our areas of weakness as a team and as individual athletes.

I enjoyed working with this year's Pioneers immensely. The successes we had this season need to create momentum for our post-season and summer workouts and motivate our athletes to push harder and work smarter.

This is a moment of great opportunity for our program, let's make sure to grab it and go.
