bye

The good news is after Friday’s game against Loyola, St. Francis has a bye week and Sanders is expected to return for the start of Angelus League play.

DiGiorgio said Foster told the players who were able to attend the hastily arranged meeting early in the team’s bye week to keep their heads up and keep pushing.

“We want the bye, obviously,” Freddie Freeman told reporters last weekend.

They got a bye and lost in the division series in 2023.

Trying to sound upbeat in a monotone voice, Foster said he would use the bye week to make tweaks before the Bruins opened Big Ten play Sept. 27 on the road against Northwestern.
