Schreiner University men’s basketball
team is headed to Mexico. For the first
time in program history the SU men’s
basketball team will be playing on
foreign soil as they travel to Saltillo
and Monterrey, Mexico to take on four
Mexican universities.
The Mountaineers will be making their
international trip during Schreiner’s
fall break, leaving Friday, October 5
and returning on Tuesday, October 9.
The Mountaineers’ opponents during the
Mexican tour will be the University of
Monterey at Saltillo, University of
Monterey at Hermosillo, Preparatory Tech
at Saltillo, and Universidad Tecnológico
de Monterrey, the four-time defending
national champions.
Besides the games, the team will be
doing a lot of sightseeing including
checking out the museums, shopping and
visiting the 40 million-year-old caverns
of Grutas de Garcia.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for us
as a team and individuals,” stated
first-year head coach Drew Miller. “We
have 22 players going on our trip,
including 14 freshman. We had 10 great
days of practice, and now we are all
excited about the trip to Mexico. We
will have a great basketball experience,
but more importantly we will have an
unforgettable cultural and social
experience. I truly believe our five
days in Mexico will create lifelong
memories for our student-athletes.”
