While it's been a rough first half of the season, the Tigers continue to make positive adjustments as they get closer to the start of SCIAC play.

"Tough games show us how we need to get better and we've improved a lot on things we really struggled with early," Oxy head coach Chris Lee said. "We have been building the last month to the Gary Troyer Tournament and the start of conference play on October 15^th for the Oxy Blackout Game against Cal Lutheran."

Next weekend the Tigers will compete in the Gary Troyer Tournament hosted by Pomona-Pitzer and CMS.
