“We are extremely excited to kick off our season in the upcoming weeks,” said head coach Kory Henkes. “We have a schedule that will allow us to play in some of the best tournaments all over the country, as well as the Dominican Republic.
“We’ll compete against top-notch teams week in and week out that will really push our players to put their best foot forward in every tournament. Our team consists of a talented group who are happy to be back on campus and eager to get started with practice this week.”
The Rebels will open the season at the Mercedes Benz Collegiate Championship, Sept. 17-18, in Knoxville, Tennessee.
