HAVE YOU HERD?
Last season, the Herd won six straight games on the way to its third straight Conference USA Championship game. The Herd went on to drop the final to Tulsa 8-0 and finished 28-31 in 2014.
STANTON'S STATEMENTS
Head Coach Shonda Stanton on the fall season:
"Fall ball is all about teaching & learning so it is always exciting to step outside of that process in a competition setting to gauge our progress."
"With only graduating two players last season and adding seven newcomers, we look forward to playing with the depth we have."
