When will there be more? Ryan Scott discusses in Around the Nation.

December 7, 2022 D3 champs come from same coaching tree Dale Wellman at Nebraska Wesleyan and Josh Merkel at Randolph-Macon have more in common than a relatively recent Walnut and Bronze trophy in their case: They both worked for the same head coach: Jeff Neubauer at Eastern Kentucky.
