Season Outlook:
Linfield enters the 2022-23 season as a new program for both men and women. The university is located 25 miles from Pacific, so the Wildcats and Boxers should be natural rivals out on the west coast. Coach Chad Hanke, a former Oregon State standout, and world women’s medalist Alyssa Lampe put together a recruiting class of 23 men and 18 women for the first-year team.
