Coach's Corner
- Hey Flyers, Kaden here! This is my second season as Graduate Assistant for the program, and I’m super pumped for what is ahead of us the rest of this season! As you may have heard, we started off the season with a trip out to NorCal, where we opened up against Menlo and then #9 Stanford, sweeping both in three sets. Then, we had some tough non-conference matchups with top- ranked Penn State, Pepperdine, and UC San Diego. This week we head into conference play with a record of 6-3, opening up at #13 McKendree in and #18 Lindenwood. With some good wins under our belt, and some hard learned lessons now behind us, we’re ready to make a statement in the MIVA! We hope to see you out at some games this season! Go Flyers!

Cole Sweitzer & Shawn Baggs
Cole: hi Shawn, how are you this fine morning? Shawn: I’m doing fantastic. We are on the way to McKendree to play them and Lindenwood boy we are excited for the opportunity to play against two ranked league opponents. Cole: ditto. This is an exciting way to kick off our league play after a few weeks of non-league opponents and some very cool travel trips to California and Penn State. Shawn: I had a blast on those trips. We got to test out our new baseball gloves at different locations. Shout out my parents for the amazing Christmas gift. Cole: yes, these were great trips and I also want to shout out my parents for the amazing baseball glove that I got for Christmas. Shawn: we want to take this opportunity to thank all of the fans that have traveled on these trips with us or came out to support us at our many home games. Cole: yes! We really appreciate all of the support and we look forward to your continued support through their remainder of the season. We have some big home games coming up after our travel trips and our league is looking fantastic this year so we hope you all can join us for more games. Shawn: Let’s kick off league play with a bang! Cole: Let’s ride!
