Basketball season is already flying by. We are currently 3-2 and host Saint Mary's University (MN) at home this evening. We had an excellent team experience in Green Bay, Wisconsin to open our season. The photo above was taken during our time at historic Lambeau Field. We visited the Packer Hall of Fame, ate dinner at the Festival Foods MVP Deck, and received a personal tour of the stadium, including the famous running out of the tunnel.
The weekend following was an all business trip to Valley City and Fargo North Dakota. Our players played through a ton of whistles and hung on to beat a good Valley City State University team. What might have impressed more than any was their ability to handle a long road trip (6-8 Hours) and still come out and perform at game time. We recently concluded our home invitational, finishing second to defending NAIA II National Champion Cardinal Stritch University. This might have been our most complete game of the season and we took away many positives that will help us going forward. Though it is hard to believe we are almost to Thanksgiving, we feel very strongly about this group of young men. They continue to come each day and give all that they have. The message continues to be the same...As soon as this group figures out everything schematically...This will be a hard group to beat. We appreciate all of our wonderful campus, community, and fan support. Let's have a great season of V-Hawk Basketball! |
