“Coming off the momentum of last season, we have intentionally designed a 2026 schedule that challenges our program at every turn. By power-loading our non-conference slate with top-tier national competitors, we are forcing our guys to elevate their game before we even hit MASCAC play” states Price. “We have a special group of captains in Thurber, Turner, Catlin and Normandie who understand the grit and discipline required to compete at a high level this season, and they’ve done a tremendous job integrating a talented group of newcomers with our group of returners. We aren’t just looking to compete this year; we’re looking to define who we are beyond our own community and make our university proud.”
