"It's very exciting, you can start to feel the anticipation a couple weeks beforehand, the campus starts to transform a bit with signs and banners being put up," said Lauren Donahue, of Saint Vincent College. "There's a buzz prior, and once they get here, there's a ton of excitement."
Players pulled up outside of Rooney Hall all throughout the day. It's the place they will be calling home during Training Camp.
