2024 Spring Team Preview: Rochester Falcons

Head Coach: Eric Magiera
Division: 1
2023 Record: 26-13
2023 Tourney Finish: Regional Semifinals loss to Adams

Coach Outlook: "We have the ability to be very good. We should have one of the best offenses in my coaching career, and probably the best defense I have ever had as well. These two things will consistently keep us in games. We have a few high level arms, and then a lot of other talented guys that are just unproven. If the arms develop the way we expect, we could contend for a lot."
