Dear Blue Raider faithful,
The 2020-21 academic year, to put it mildly, was the most interesting in my many years in college athletics. I would first like to congratulate and thank our student athletes and coaches for their sacrifices, their fantastic representation of our remarkable University, and their achievements of competing in a global pandemic.
It is almost impossible to describe the roller coaster of emotion we experienced - and each team dealt with the pandemic and its enormous impact in its own way. This year of uncertainty caused tremendous internal anxiety and I admire all our employees, coaches, and student athletes for staying in the fight.
