What to expect: The Phoenix have switched from the KVAC to the MVC this season, and Acritelli — who moves over from the boys’ program — said it’s a move from one tough conference to another. Playing in the KVAC gave Spruce Mountain good competition, but the MVC won’t be a cakewalk either. The roster is full of experience, and if the Phoenix can control possession they have a chance to be successful in their first season in the new conference.
