I took a look at the final records for Valpo teams (baseball is the only team still playing) and found pretty encouraging results.
In our third year in the Horizon, in major sports, we more than held our own.
We all know that minor sports (swimming, track, tennis, golf) we have a lot of work to do.
By major sports I mean those drawing the most attention and/or are revenue generating. They include women's basketball, soccer, volleyball and softball and men's basketball, soccer and baseball.
So, let's look at the results:
Sport Prediction Finish
Women's Soccer 5rd 2nd
Volleyball 2nd 2nd
Softball 6th 4th
Women's basketball 6th 8th
Men's Soccer 6th 3rd
Baseball 4th 4th (at this time)
Men's basketball 8th 4th (tie)
So women's basketball was the only sport that had a disappointing result, relative to the league's polling.
Overall we are clearly an upper division group of teams and with the kids returning and those coming in, I would expect continued great success and our first conference champion--team wise.
GO VALPO!!
