"I'm really looking forward to a great season," Hennington said. "We have some talented sophomores returning in Lucas Brewer, Bryce Chapman, and Cameron Little, and I'm expecting a lot of leadership out of these players…we also have seven incoming freshmen that have already shown tremendous potential. These guys are great ball strikers and look to shake up our lineup with stiff competition."
