“I’m very excited to come in (to Ohio Wesleyan),” Postma said. “With the number of young players on both teams, we look forward to continuing the momentum and continuing to develop players so they have the best college experience. The facilities and commitment to athletics are so strong. I see myself being here for a long time.”
