“We’re very excited to add Coach Ryan to our staff and team full-time this season!,” said Head Coach Natalie Moynihan. “His expertise has invented a whole new look for us in our media presence and has brought our program following to new heights. Ryan is a hard worker, great connector and has knowledge of the game beyond his years. We look forward to having him with us as a full-time member of our Golden Eagle family!”
