The Wildcats claimed two tournaments this spring as they look ahead towards the start of the fall season in late August.

But the Wildcats rebounded in their final two events of the spring, taking both the Lehigh and Rutgers spring tournaments. At Lehigh, the event was a seven on seven half-field tourney.
