The UAlbany Great Danes finished at 4-8 overall and 2-6 in conference play in 2024 after over a decade under head coach Greg Gattuso, who had just brought the squad to a 11-4 record in 2023.

The UT Permian Basin Falcons are looking to continue their historic streak of success, having back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in program history.

The Central Washington Wildcats are looking to win the Lone Star Conference in 2025 after going 8-4 in 2024 and barely missing out on the championship.
