Playoff Vision

Beyond defending their conference title, the Maroons aim to sustain their effort throughout the playoffs, with the coaching staff stressing that consistent improvement will be the key to deep postseason runs.

Season Opener

The Maroons open the season at home on August 21 against Rochester, a matchup that will serve as the first test of their new‑era philosophy and set the tone for the weeks ahead.
