The Mountaineers will be making their international trip during Schreiner’s
fall break, leaving Friday, October 5 and returning on Tuesday, October 9.
The Mountaineers’ opponents during the Mexican tour will be the University
of Monterey at Saltillo, University of Monterey at Hermosillo, Preparatory
Tech at Saltillo, and Universidad Tecnológico de Monterrey, the four-time
defending national champions.
Besides the games, the team will be doing a lot of sightseeing including
checking out the museums, shopping and visiting the 40 million-year-old
caverns of Grutas de Garcia.
“This is a tremendous opportunity for us as a team and individuals,” stated
first-year head coach
Drew Miller. “We have 22 players going on our trip, including 14
freshman. We had 10 great days of practice, and now we are all excited about
the trip to Mexico. We will have a great basketball experience, but more
importantly we will have an unforgettable cultural and social experience. I
truly believe our five days in Mexico will create lifelong memories for our
student-athletes.”
