In two weeks our teams from Loretto will tip off their respected seasons
The Men and Women have a lot in common this year
They are both ranked high in the Northeast Conference preseason poll
The Men are ranked 3rd, the Women are ranked 4th
But will also usher in a lot of new faces
Men’s Head Coach Rob Krimmel said that half of his team is new
The men have 5 freshman on board this year while the women have 6 new freshman players
In the previous year both teams finished well below 500, the Men were 5-13 in NEC play, while the Women were 8-10
Both groups are using that as motivation as they are eager to improve
New faces will bring new energy both Krimmel and Women’s Head Coach Keila Whittington will rely heavily on their returning players to step up as leaders
The Red Flash will tip off their season Monday November 7th
The Women play first at Robert Morris. Game begins at 11 am
The Men play later in the day at 7 pm from St. Bonaventure
