And School Begins...

After what seems like 19 months, school has finally started again on the campus of Hamline University. Our freshmen have been through orientation and couldn't stand it. What a great way to start college. We have brought in eight freshmen and here they are (in alphabetical order)...

Noah Aguiree Fillmore, CA Fillmore HS
Charlie Choiniere Oakdale, MN North St. Paul HS
Victor Easter Minneapolis, MN Minneapolis South HS
Billy Pinz Eugene, OR Sheldon HS
Jordan Schimidt Northbrook, IL Glenbrook North HS
Christian Taber Brooklyn Park, MN Park Center HS
Andy Voigt Cottage Grove, MN Park HS
Nick Wegner Maplewood, MN Hill-Murray School

We are definitely looking forward for practice to start. We think this a talented bunch and they are going to help us win a lot of ballgames over the next four years. These guys will go with our returners.

Sr. Nick Carroll
Sr. Dan Andersen
Jr. Carl Hipp
Soph. Levi Wenrich
Soph. Brandon Rieg

We also have a transfer that is enrolled at classes but is not eligible at the moment for competition. He could be a huge part of our program and will make us immediately better. We will need to file paperwork and get some things taken care of before he offically becomes a Piper. We are certainly crossing our fingers.

We will several non-conference games against nationally ranked opponents who include Elmhurst, Buena Vista, and possibly Wheaton and Cal Lutheran. We could have one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the country. We certainly think our guys are up for the challenge. It will hopefully set us up for a NCAA tournament bid.
