The 2004 Panther team was ranked in the top 10 in the NCCAA on two occasions.

    Huber will graduate in May with a bachelor of science degree in physical education. He has been a four-time SLIAC academic all-conference selection and was named to the 2004 CoSIDA Academic All-America District V first team.
