“Many top teams from Conference USA and GLVC participate in this event. It will be very competitive in a home that traditionally attracts more than others. I think the scores for this event will be high. We just have to. “Keep up with everyone else and win our games. After our training today, I think we have a pretty good game plan for the weekend.
