Season outlook:
The Pioneers will be young with lots of energy and excitement. A new coaching staff is in place to work with a solid nucleus of returners includes NCAA Qualifier Ferguson, along with regional placers Bohm and Deshane. Mike Uliana and Trent Larson bring back additional quality varsity experience and have NCAA tournament potential. Aaric Spencer had 10 wins in the early going last year before being sidelined with a knee injury and should be one to watch develop along with a number of other quality wrestlers in the room challenging for a spot.
