Iowa Wesleyan Hired.
Wentworth we're 90% sure there was a hired. Same with UNE. Just no formal announcements yet on these.
WC State has to be close. No way that post isn't filled or close to.
No chatter about Alfred. Not a position that many care about.
Thomas More has been quiet too which is strange... would think that if nothing is going on, they are promoting internally?
Guilford no offer yet that we know.  Just down to a couple left. Should have a hire by Thursday or next week whether announced or just known.

Ron Boerger

A bit old, but haven't seen anything about it:  Claremont Mudd-Scripps will be looking for a new coach after Keri Sanchez left for an assistant position with the University of Texas:  http://www.texassports.com/news/2017/3/28/soccer-announces-keri-sanchez-as-new-assistant-coach.aspx

She replaces Lance Key who had left Trinity (TX) last season and who apparently is no longer with the Longhorn program (no details available).

Thomas More made a interesting hire today....

Thomas More hire is interesting. Seems to be a good fit, prior head coaching experience at D-3 level, played D-3 and originally from the Cincinnati area so should have contacts for recruiting.

UNE hires Carly Gettler....assistant at Randolph-Macon and former HC at Husson, where she was average. A male coach had very little chance at getting this job, let's face it.

No head coaching experience....never coached at the D III level....other than 1 year at Queens as an asst., she's not been a part of a winning program since her GA days at CMU....at UND, the team went 6-43-4...that's the best they could do with the pool of candidates that applied, yikes!
