Ave Maria is on the way up and up! Look for a deeper run in next years’ tournament!
Could be!
SVU Knights will go all the way next year. u can count on it!
I guess we’ll see! Thanks for commenting!
Awesome! I never knew there were so many other divisions of college sports outside of the sleazy NCAA! I may go to one of these schools now!
Good to hear! These divisions have REAL student athletes, not jus hired guns run through the system while pretending to be students.
