Another preview article came out yesterday on tomorrow's noon game against traditional powerhouse Northwestern. This one mainly just discusses Coach Elliot's NW roots.

Hope some Allbuffians are going to be able to make it out to see the team play!

WHAT A GAME!

This was my first game to see in person and man was it a fun one!! So many lead changes. So awesome that the BUFFS were able to come out on top! They deserved it!

They should be ranked after this win. I heard they were receiving votes already.

Ann Elliott is an amazing coach! What a job she has done building this program from scratch!

Ann Elliot is an outstanding coach. Just the right coach for this program.

So, um... thanks Bohn?

Yep. It was the right program to add from a lot of standpoints: fan-friendly spring sport, competitive opportunity & Title IX standing. And he found the right coach (most of that credit goes to Ceal, I believe). Only complaint I had was that WLAX was added despite having no way to pay for it and no budget applied to it. RG had to make it work and MM did help out quite a bit by paying for a scholarship.
