Scores came from rookie junior Evelyn Kalafus-Mastenbrook and seasoned players junior Evan Delano and senior Alyssa Civian, all in the second half. The Rhinos’ roster this season boasts 28 players, a significant increase from last fall when the team did not...

You are starting this season in a new league.  What opportunities do you think that will bring? Matt Kendrick: Starting [in] this new league [the Small Universities League of Ohio], I feel like we have a good chance to get into the playoffs. We also have a ton of first-years. This year reminds me of when I was a first-year. There was a lot of talent in the older players, but a lot of good-looking first- and second-years.

With this new league, I feel like this team will be making history. This is my first wave of recruiting and I ...
