The 2007-08 season proved to be a very exciting and interesting year for the Slugs. It was a season that can't be measured by the wins and loses alone. The season ended with a 9-18 mark, a record the Slugs did not predict at the beginning of the season.

They began the season with the best start in program history, going 4-1 in their first week of the season. But as the season progressed, the Slugs found it difficult to stay consistant. (more)
