Knights Add Three Semester Transfers

The Knights Baseball team added three quality transfers entering the spring semester.

Catcher, Mikey Valdez comes to NU from division I Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Valdez is a senior and is expected to step in right away as a superb backstop option. Valdez is no stranger to Northwood as he began his collegiate career at cross town rival Texas Wesleyan.

Colton Reavis comes to Northwood from D1 University of Texas San Antonio. Reavis is a right handed pitcher with a powerful fastball that sits 90-95 mph. Reavis is expected to join the Knights bullpen as a go to option late in games.

Roman Gomez is a two way player that will compete behind the plate and on the mound. Gomez comes to Northwood from D2 powerhouse Saint Mary's University in San Antonio.

Northwood opens the 2012 season at home on February 3rd vs The Chaps of Lubbock Christian University. The weekend series will be a matchup of top 25 teams as LCU brings in a #4 ranking to NU's # 24.
