They are one of the best Division 2 schools and they have been a powerhouse at that level for a long time,” Marsh said. “I know going there that I can have an immediate impact on the program, and I know we’re going to be very successful. I like the coaching staff, and I like the team. I’m very excited about this opportunity.”
