Valpo will host Iona on Wednesday at 7:05 CDT in the first round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. If you can’t make it out to the ARC, all games in the CIT will be broadcast free on Fox Sports broadband.

22-11 (13-5 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference)
Finalists in the MAAC tournament, Coach Tim Cluess’ Gaels have come a long way since a 2-28 record in 2006-07. With star juniors Anthony Glover and Scott Machado (Iona’s first pair of All-MAAC first teamers in 13 years), the Gaels bring a formidable lineup to the CIT. Sophomore Kyle Smyth is another rising star to watch, and the team’s accomplishments this year include wins over league-leader Fairfield, NCAA participants Richmond and Long Island University, and 2 regular season wins over eventual MAAC tournament champions Saint Peters. In addition, the athletic Gaels played close games with Syracuse, Kent State, Vermont, and Cleveland State, and could use a strong CIT showing as a spring board towards a special season in 2012.
