The Warriors will be able to take advantage of the warmer weather starting to happen in Nebraska over the next couple of weeks as they prepare for their next outing. They’ll be off until March 21-22 when they travel to Denver, Colorado for the Robert Wirtz Intercollegiate held at Bear Creek Golf Club.
