The Importance of Conference

This year, our team is in a rough spot. Since we play a weak schedule, it can be said that we cannot compete with the other top teams in the country. We have two decent wins (tyler and mary washington) but these wins do not justify us a solid high ranking like we would like. This makes the idea of an "at large bid" to the national tournament in California very unlikely; therefore, we must win our conference to qualify. There are few teams that can consistently challenge us in our conference, and Depauw is one of them. Last year, our team lost to them in the finals of conference, but was able to land a bid into nationals. Our goal this year is to win conference and leave no doubt that we belong with the other top programs in the country.
