In her first year as head coach of the field hockey team at Sewanee (University of the South), my cousin’s wife, Coach Baldaccini, led her team to a conference championship, their best overall record since the 1998 season, and a berth in the D-III NCAA tournament.
Way to hit the ground running, Jen.
(And apparently my cousin is their assistant coach, too. Give him some credit for no doubt running the women through football drills.)
They’re playing Lynchburg as I type this (Bracket) for the right to take on Ursinus in the second round. There’s free streaming video of the games at that link. Single camera—no graphics—with a play-by-play voiceover.
Later that night: Dammit. Lost 4-0. Still an outstanding first season.
