Coach Rob's Report:
"We're super excited to kick off homecoming weekend and hope for a big Gaiters crowd," said head coach Rob Engelken. "We've struggled as we deal with injuries and narrow down who we are as a team, but we're going the right direction. We will put out our most complete, healthy roster of the season tomorrow. We know McGill will be a formidable, talented opponent but we like being underdogs and hope to make it a battle, a real dog fight. It's always fun."
