When asked about the upcoming season, Coach Serowski expressed his confidence in the team's growth mindset mentality, stating, "We have eleven incoming athletes and only seven returning, but you wouldn't be able to tell that they have just met each other recently. The team has adopted an exceptional growth mindset going into this season. They are looking forward to being surrounded by each other, practicing together, and battling both with and against each other. Their objective is to showcase their capabilities and put in the work required to achieve success."
The team has set the bar higher than ever before and is hungry for victory. Coach Serowski emphasized their dedication, saying, "They are not afraid to put in the Effort, they have great Attitudes, and they are a Tough bunch. I can confidently say they are ready to E.A.T. We are excited to share the recipe for success and cannot wait to get cooking this fall."

From a competitive standpoint, we are most excited about our matches with Texas Wesleyan, John Brown, and SAGU, as they currently hold the top spots that we are determined to challenge."
