Head coach Geoff Macdonald expects big things from his team and is thrilled going into to the 2019 spring season.
 
“It’s probably the deepest team we’ve had in many years. This season we’ll stress team, everyone will develop and contribute. I’ll have some tough decisions with line ups, we’ve got some really great players.” 
 
Regarding the Invite, Macdonald is looking forward to watching the team develop and grow as they kick-off the spring season.
 
“We use this part of year to get ready for conference play. We play the toughest non-conference in the country and we have the toughest schedule in the country. We think that the tough matches get us ready for the conference and these young players are world class players, they want to play against the best.”
