"I am very excited about our 2012 season," Rey said. "We have a very competitive non-conference schedule against top opponents that should help us develop our pitching depth and a strong bench. The quality of our early opponents will challenge us every time we step on the field. We will be battle-tested and prepared for the start of the conference season, which we open with the first SWAC series against Mississippi Valley."
