Northwestern Dual Postponed!

Because of a team medical condition, Northwestern has had to pull out of the dual. I think we all know what that means. Good luck to the Wildcat team.

We will update when a new date is offered.

Well, it is either something pretty awful or the World's Biggest Duck:




Let's hope it's the latter and not the former.
