The Lee and Penny Anderson Arena is a game-changer for a booming program. Facilities matter, and the upgrade will make the Tommies a bigger player in recruiting.

“And certainly, this is part of the recruiting puzzle,” Brausen said. “That when you walk through this space, there’s no stone that is unturned.”
