"For the first time all season we're going to begin to take the training load off," said head coach Greg Roy. "Our top guys are competing for qualifying marks and we'll really get a chance to see what our freshmen can bring this weekend."
The squad was last in action on Jan. 17 when it claimed the 2016 Great Dane Classic title. The Huskies finished in the top position with 110.25 team points, checking in ahead of Navy (100.75) and Buffalo (67.5).
The Huskies competed at the event a season ago, picking up seven top-10 finishes. To view the 2015 meet recap, please CLICK HERE.
