Now that baseball has been eliminated from the opportunity to participate in the conference tournament, it is time for a quick review of our athletic programs in '16-'17. I broke it down by gender and fall, winter, and spring seasons.

In the Horizon League, we won six titles. Oakland and Cleveland State are next with three each. With baseball left, Wright State and Milwaukee have zero. You know, the schools with fans that actually want to kick us out of the league!
