After a halfhearted search over a year ago, a throwaway year under an interim coach, and the departure of the Athletic Director that botched it all, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville has landed what seems to be a solid leader.
SIUE has named veteran coach Ben Sorden to guide their program. He comes to the Cougars after guiding pitching staffs at both Michigan State and Indiana the last decade. This will be Sorden’s first head coaching opportunity on the collegiate level.
