 Senior Jeff Prebeck and the Bears return all five starters from last year's team which won the NEWMAC Tournament.
“Our mission is simple. We want to get back to the NCAA Tournament and anything less than that should be viewed as an honor offense around this Academy, because we would be cheating ourselves,” said head coach Pete Barry in his 18th season. “We are the United States Coast Guard, we carry out missions that are supposed to be carried out, it’s plain nonsense to think that we can’t complete this mission.”
Coast Guard made its first trip to the NCAA Tournament since the 1978-’79 season and finished 14-14 overall. The Bears return all five starters and welcome back preseason All-America junior Craig Johnson, who took a religious sabbatical last season in Honduras. |
