"After a very competitive interview process, TJ emerged as our next leader. I know TJ will take the reins and continue to build this program to new heights. I am thankful for his commitment to the program over the last year as assistant coach, and his willingness to want to step up and lead as the head coach this year. I am looking forward to seeing this team compete under his leadership." - Gretchen LeVan
