“Our non-conference schedule will once again be against some of the regions best in hopes of preparing us for the NACC schedule," said Meyer. "Dubuque is the pre-season ARC favorite; Stevens Point & Oshkosh are top tier WIAC programs. Carthage & Chicago are Top 15 nationally ranked teams and Parkside is an excellent D2 program. The goal is to have us ready to play in a very strong NACC conference. Top to bottom there are no easy nights, and you must be prepared at the highest level for every game. Three teams receiving pre-season ranking votes, shows just how deep the league could be.”
