Last Tuesday club members heard from interim head coach of Doane Women's basketball, Ryan Baumgartner. He took over in the last week of November after the resignation of first-year head coach Sheronda Powell and lead the team to their first win of the season. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Doane and played basketball for the Tigers before serving as an assistant for both the Women's and Men's programs in recent years. He said he hopes to build on season goals and encourage the players to improve on the court and work hard in the classroom. Ryan and his wife, Deidre, live in Crete.
