Coming off an ASUN Championship Final appearance in 2025 and a successful spring season, we're primed to take that next step," Head Coach Eric Faulconer stated. "Our non-conference schedule is a good mix of matches against programs that play different styles, and that should prepare us well for ASUN Conference play. The new look ASUN Conference and schedule format will be challenging. Every single point will have to be earned if we want to be at the top of the table in the end."
