A season of Comet pride, campus energy, and new beginnings
The calendar says that we’ve officially sprung into spring. With warmer days come traditions, celebrations, and the excitement of spring athletics. Softball and baseball began their spring seasons during spring break trips to Florida for baseball and Arizona for softball earlier this month. We’re hoping the weather will cooperate so we can host some home games here, but for now, the teams are road warriors, with all games being held in places further south and west. We look forward to more opportunities for the golf team to compete soon, weather cooperating. The golfers will participate in the conference tournament in Phoenix, Ariz. in April.
