Coach Darrell Mosley had his team find success despite the most challenging of circumstances. By early January, Mosley found his team with only eight healthy players after losing five to season ending injuries. Despite the injuries and short bench, coach Mosley led his team to a third-place finish in the CIAA North Division behind two teams bound for the NCAA Tournament. Mosley’s team reached the CIAA semi-finals for the third year in a row.
