2020 OUTLOOK:
The Wolverines are going to have talent and contribution across the board this year. We have a good core of upperclassmen with game experience that will need to be leaders. This pairs nicely with some talented, hard-working, younger athletes that will compete hard daily. I am excited and looking forward to getting out there and seeing what we can do.” Head Coach Gabe Hoogers
