We take great pride in our defense. We want to be the best defensive team in the NAIA. We understand that great defense requires five players giving maximum effort and concentration on every possession. There are no easy answers or miracle schemes that can be consistently effective with minimum effort. Great defense results not from great schemes but from the defensive disposition and commitment of players. To be a great defensive team, we must TRUST.
