"This weekend marks the end of our regular season campaign with a double opportunity at WWU with the PeeWee Halsell Invitational and the Ralph Vernacchia Invitational. This will be the site of our conference championships both Monday/Tuesday and in two weeks so getting a feel for the place is a priority. Our team is entering our fullest form and excited to line up against several GNAC schools and some new faces from Canada in what looks to be a really nice weekend up north."
