We just wrapped up the 3rd year with Head Coach Doug Phillips at the helm. In his first year (2020 played in spring 2021), the infamous COVID year, YSU went just 1-6. Last year (2021), YSU actually defeated three playoff teams (UIW, MSU, and SIU), but blew a 28pt lead to WIU and a 4th quarter lead at UND and ended the season going just 3-7. This year the Penguins certainly improved record wise going 7-4 and just missing out on the playoffs due to a 5-pt loss at home to UND and a 3-pt loss on the road at MSU.
With things trending in the right direction with Coach Phillips in charge, I thought it would be nice to start up an off-season thread to discuss incoming recruits/transfers, any defections from the current roster, as well as any changes with the coaching staff.
In terms of our schedule next season, here is how it stacks up. We lose NDSU, UND (thanks for the catch!), and WIU on our schedule next year, while gaining back UNI and SDSU.
- Aug 31 - Valparaiso
- Sept. 9 - at Ohio State
- Sept. 16 - Robert Morris
- Sept. 30 - at UNI
- Oct. 7 - Southern Illinois
- Oct. 14 - at South Dakota
- Oct. 21 - Illinois State
- Oct. 28 - Missouri State
- Nov. 4 - at Indiana State
- Nov. 11 - South Dakota State
- Nov. 18 - at Murray State
Go Penguins!
