The freshmen trio of Drew Keene, Kazuki Matsuno and Jarreau Campbell along with sophomore Carson Gates will represent the Spartans at the invite.

"We are excited for the opportunity to compete and test our mettle this week against great competition. It has been awesome to see the players growth on the court as well as off since our last tournament two weeks ago. We look forward to continue this climb this weekend," said head coach Gene Orlando.
