With funds from last years Cougar Challenge, Coach Phillips purchased each member of the team new backpacks and helped to fund the annual training trip to Puerto Rico.

He plans to used contributions from this years Challenge to bring the team back to Puerto Rico for training and competition in January and purchase additional backpacks and parkas for new student-athletes.

"The Cougar Challenge has made a huge impact on our program and has become a key fundraiser for our team each season. The funds have supported our annual training trip to Puerto Rico and helped us buy backpacks and parkas for our athletes to proudly wear on campus. Without the Cougar Challenge, we couldn’t have funded our first post-pandemic trip, and your support has made future trips more affordable, allowing more team members to join in on this unforgettable experience." - Paul E. Phillips, Head Coach
