Good for Mankato, beating Cloud. Kato has come a long way the last 15 years.
Didn’t expect St. Thomas to be this far behind- on the men’s side. Will be interesting to see where the program is in 5 years. Hopefully they don’t turn into a UWM/UWGB.
A fast old boy for Cloud on their roster. Abe should have a decent shot at winning the 50 this year at NCAA.
Mankato has a person who is named: Roelle Op De Haar. Has a nice ring to it.
