“No. 1, we have an excellent coach in Darin Erstad,” Eichorst said of the coach who wrapped up his sixth season at NU in June. “He recruits high-level student-athletes in his program and he has an amazing culture. We’ve been competing at a high level in the regular season and I have no doubt that we will make progress in the postseason. You just gotta stick with it, gotta stay positive and optimistic and the wins will come.
"The common denominator in successful programs is elite students and great coaching," said NU Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst, "and then having resources and support around them."
