“Although we finished 10th at this event, we had a very successful fall season,” said Lynx head coach Bill Cochran. “One of our goals this year was to win one of these big tournaments, and we accomplished that goal with our win at the Transylvania Fall Invitational. We also finished 3rd out of 20 teams at our Rhodes Fall Classic and 3rd out of 12 teams in the Birmingham Southern Fall Shootout. “
“Now we need to start getting prepared for the spring season. We are playing a tough, but exciting, schedule with the goal of participating in the NCAA Championship being played June 11th -14th at Hershey Country Club in Hershey, PA.”
