SCOUTING THE OILERS
The NCAA Division II Findlay ended the 2023-24 season with a 14-15 overall record, going 10-10 in the Great Midwest Atlantic Conference. The Oilers entered the GMAC Tournament as the No. 9 seed, falling to No. 1 Ashland.
Under direction of third-year head coach Michele Durand, Findlay is 5-2 on the season, holding a four-game win streak defeating Lake Surperior State (79-40), Saginaw Valley State (65-56), Edinboro (80-74), and Indianapolis (69-50). The two oiler losses game against the nationally ranked #3 Grand Valley State (92-50) and #6 Montana State – Billings (62-52) in the D2CCA Tipoff Classic.
