“We are excited to be playing an opponent different than ourselves to see what our guys can do,” said head coach Jeff Kinney. “With a few new faces in our lineup, these exhibition matches are important for our progress. We’ve had fun matchups with Lipscomb and I’m sure Saturday will be no different.”
