Season At a Crossroads

11 games into the season we have a record of 3-4-4. It's not anywhere close to where we want to be, but...it is what it is.

We've played some really great teams this season. Playing Akron the other night made it clear that they are, without a doubt, the best team in the country. We are going through some injury problems right now, just like many other teams I'm sure. Personally, I have missed the last 4 games due to a foot injury. I'm feeling 100-times better this week, and hope to return to action this weekend when we play Milwaukee.

Most of our remaining games are league games, which means we MUST take care of business if we want to be playing in November. We've won the Horizon League tournament before to make it to the NCAAs and we all know we can do it again.

The rest of the boys play Ohio State tonight, and I will be following it on GameTracker. Hopefully we can get a win and get back into league play on a good little streak.
