The Skyhawks have struggled to find consistency since their first surprising year in 2023 where they went 5-5 (4-3 in the conference) after joining the NEC. But, this season, there’s reason to believe some momentum is being built. The program is now fully formed in Eli Gardner’s image when it comes to…
