The ’84 team made it to the NCAA Division II tournament semifinals.Don’t forget about the Bearkat squad that rolled to two straight Southland Conference titles in 1993-94 and went to the NCAA Division I playoffs in ’93 for the first time in school history.Those were some salty teams, and Gray feels like this year’s team has what it takes to be just as good as those squads. That’s because the Bearkats are smack in the middle of a nine-match winning streak, the program’s best streak since 1994.
