Eddy Morgan finished up his eighth season with the Concordia University Wisconsin Baseball program in 2021. Morgan has won 170 career games with the Falcons and captured his 100th win with the program in 2018. During Morgan's time at CUW, the Falcons have appeared in the NCAA regional rankings, had their first All-American in program history, and have continuously competed against the top teams in the area.
The Falcons advanced all the way to the NACC Tournament Finals in 2021. The Falcons posted victories over MSOE and Marian to win the NACC North Division Tournament. Sam Beers earned All-American Honors with the ABCA and D3Baseball to become the second All-American in program history.
The coronavirus pandemic cut the 2020 season short. The Falcons posted a 3-2 record on the season.
The 2019 season saw the Falcons finish fourth in the conference in the regular season. In the NACC Tournament, the team was one of the final three teams left on the final day of competition along with the No. 1 nationally-ranked Concordia Chicago and the eventual tournament winners Aurora. The Falcons were particularly good playing at home as they held an 11-5 record at Kapco Park.
Morgan picked up his 100th win in a Falcons uniform when CUW defeated Chapman, 2-1, on March 4. The Falcons won 23 games during the 2018 season, including a sweep over the eighth-ranked team in the nation, Concordia Chicago.
Morgan guided the Falcons to a program-best 28 wins in 2017, the second time in four years his team has set a new wins mark. In addition, the Falcons reached the regional rankings, being ranked as high as the No. 5 team in the Midwest Region. CUW also made its third appearance in four years in the NACC Championship game. The Falcons also posted back-to-back wins over then-No. 3 UW-Whitewater and Concordia Chicago, the eventual NACC Champs and a 2017 DIII College World Series participant.
In 2017, Morgan recorded his 200th career NCAA victory when the Falcons defeated MSOE on May 2.
The 2017 season saw a couple of other firsts for the Falcons. Morgan coached Bryan Thomas to the program's first All-American nod as the senior outfielder was named Second Team All-American by the ABCA. Thomas was joined by teammate Matt Schubert on the All-Region teams, marking the first time CUW had two players selected as All-Region selections. Thomas was First Team All-Region by the ABCA and both were Second Team All-Region according to D3Baseball.com. Schubert was also a Third Team ABCA pick.
From 2012-2017, Morgan worked with the Lakeshore Chinooks, a Northwoods League Team that plays its home games at Kapco Park. He was the Manager from 2013-17 and during this time with the team coached 67 players that went on to be drafted by the MLB. Morgan coached players from many of the top Division I programs nationally, including Florida, Vanderbilt, LSU, Notre Dame, UCLA, and many other top-notch programs.
Morgan, who was the 2014 Northwoods League Manager of the Year, guided the Chinooks to a league title in 2014. He has coached four players who have reached the MLB, including Zack Granite (Minnesota Twins), Andrew Stevenson (Washington Nationals), Harrison Bader (St. Louis Cardinals), and Brian Anderson (Miami Marlins).
Morgan led CUW to a then program-best 25 wins in 2015, which included a second straight appearance in the NACC Tournament Championship game. The season included wins over St. John's and Concordia Chicago, programs that reached the NCAA Division III Tournament.
In 2016, the Falcons won 23 games and posted a 13-7 record in the NACC, tying for second place, the highest finish since joining the league in 2007. CUW also had three players earn First Team All-Conference honors, including sophomore catcher Kyle Hilliard, who was chosen to the ABCA Midwest Region Second Team.
Morgan also showcased his ability to guide outstanding performances, as the Falcons had a pair of freshmen in 2015 post impressive seasons. Carter Buuck was an ABCA Third Team All-Midwest Region selection, as well as being the NACC Freshman of the Year. It was the second straight year Morgan has guided a NACC Freshman of the Year, with Andrew Heideman earning the honor in 2014.
Morgan also helped produce one of the better young hitters in the conference in 2015 in freshmen outfielder Nathan Thyssen. Thyssen led the nation in triples with 11. As a team, the Falcons finished third in the NACC in runs scored with 296. Morgan preaches quality at-bats to his team and the Falcons delivered by ranking eighth nationally in 2015 with 203 walks. That number also led to the NACC.
The Falcons' 2014 season under Morgan was a successful one as they posted a 23-19 record and finished second in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference Tournament. CUW, which was predicted to finish eighth in the preseason poll, hit its stride midway through the season, winning 12 straight games from April 13-27.
The 23 wins were the most for CUW since the 1991 season (24). The Falcons also earned their first-ever NACC Tournament wins since the league began prior to the 2007 campaign. CUW won three games at the NACC Tournament before being eliminated by nationally ranked Concordia University Chicago.
In year one under Morgan, four Falcons earned NACC All-Freshman Team honors, including Freshman of the Year, right-handed pitcher Andrew Heideman. Morgan also coached two players, including Heideman, to Second Team All-NACC recognition.
Morgan came to CUW after spending seven seasons at UW-Superior. While at UW-Superior, he inherited a team that finished 3-35 prior to his arrival in the 2007 season. He quickly turned the Yellowjackets into a program that has become respected across the Midwest, including leading them to 10 conference wins in 2010, the most UW-Superior had in nearly 40 years.
During his seven seasons with the Yellowjackets Morgan won 105 games, the most in program history. UW-Superior gained 18 wins in the 2010 season, the most during his tenure. Morgan also ranks in the top 25 of the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in wins.
"I am very humbled to have the opportunity to coach at a facility like Kapco Park," Morgan said. "Kapco Park is, in my opinion, the best facility in Division III baseball and will aid in recruiting the quality student-athletes we are looking to bring in."
Prior to his time at UW-Superior, Morgan served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at The College of St. Scholastica. The Saints were one of the premier teams in the country during Morgan's nine years, finding themselves a regular in the national rankings.
In spending time at UW-Superior and St. Scholastica, Morgan has seen some of the top programs in the country, coming from the always competitive WIAC and Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Morgan regularly took on national powerhouses in the University of St. Thomas, UW-Stevens Point and UW-Whitewater.
He graduated from St. Scholastica in 1998 with a Bachelor's Degree in behavioral arts and sciences. He also received his Master's Degree in management from CSS in 2012.
Morgan and his wife, Jessica, reside in Saukville with their two children, Isaac and Piper.
Stein Rear is in his 11th season as Head Baseball Coach at Carroll University for the 2023-24 school year.

2022 saw the Pioneers accomplish yet another first for the program as they qualified for the CCIW tournament for the second consecutive season, a feat never before achieved at Carroll University. They extended that streak to three consecutive years with yet another appearance in the postseason tournament in 2023.
2021 set a new standard of success at Carroll University, tying the program record for wins in a season with 22, which had been set in 2018. The Pioneers finished fourth in the CCIW in 2021, marking the highest finish in program history, while ending the year with a third-place finish in the CCIW Tournament. The Pioneers notched three wins over top-10 nationally ranked teams during the season and finished the year with 43 home runs, which ranked 20th in all of NCAA Division-III.
2018 was a banner year for the Pioneers, setting a new program record for wins in a season with 22, surpassing the old mark of 19 which had been set 17 years prior to that. Coach Rear also recorded his 100th career victory early in that season with a 10-6 win over Augsburg on March 16 in Tucson, Ariz.
In 2017, the Pioneer program returned to the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) after 24 years of competing in the Midwest Conference. Their return was marked with success as they knocked off a top-15 ranked opponent for the first time in team history on April 1 in a 9-7 victory at Augustana (Ill.), who was ranked 15th by D3Baseball.com at the time. They also defeated North Central (Ill.) College, which would go on to win the CCIW and advance to the Division-III College World Series and finish fifth in the final D3baseball.com poll, by a score of 17-7 on April 15.
Pioneer baseball also has a proud tradition of academic excellence. On average, nearly 50 percent of the roster has achieved academic all-conference recognition as the Pioneers have finished with a team GPA of 3.2 in 2016, 3.21 in 2017, 3.17 in 2018, 3.08 in 2019, 3.13 in 2020, 3.24 in 2021 and 3.05 in 2022. The American Baseball Coaches Association honored Carroll for their achievements in the classroom as they were awarded the ABCA Academic Excellence Award for eight consecutive years (2016-23).
In Coach Rear's 10 years at the helm of the Carroll baseball program the Pioneers have completely rewritten the program's record book.

My name is Carter Turnquist and I am the Assistant Coach with Aurora University. I graduated with a Sports Management Degree from Aurora University in 2020 and then graduated with a Masters in Business Administration in 2021. I played for the Spartans from 2018-2021 with conference tournament titles and regional appearances in every year. I was a starting pitcher from 19'-21' and voted team captain in my last year by my teammates.
I started with Aurora University in January of 23' and have been coaching baseball for a total of 9 years. My overall goal for the players that I coach, is to have a long lasting positive impact on the athletes that I am able to coach, in baseball and in life. I want our athletes to grow as individuals and as a team to be able to have the opportunity to achieve their goals and dreams in their life.
Two years ago, I was fortunate enough to be a part of the winningest team in Aurora Spartan history as we went 42-6. The team achieved being Regular Season Conference Champions, Conference Tournament Champions, and NCAA DIII Regional Champions. Last year, we ended up going 34-11 and just missed the NCAA playoffs. To see the growth of the team and to be a part of helping this team succeed is exactly what I came to Aurora University to do. Go Spartans!

Dombrowski, a 2018 St. Norbert College graduate and three-year starting catcher for the Green Knights, comes to the Hilltop following successful NCAA Division I coaching stints at University of Evansville and Central Michigan University.
For a young coach, this is an unbelievable opportunity and I cant wait to get started, said Dombrowski, a native of Delafield, Wis. I cant imagine walking into a better situation with administration who care about the program. The people are passionate about Cornell athletics. The closeness of the campus community is also a big thing for me.
Dombrowski served as hitting coach during a break-through 2022 season at Evansville. The Purple Aces finished 32-24 overall, placed second in the Missouri Valley Conference and shattered the school record for home runs in a season with 77. Evansville ranked among the league leaders in all offensive categories and landed four all-MVC players under Dombrowskis guidance.
We are very excited to have Robbie join our team at Cornell, said Cornell Interim Director of Athletics Jeff Meeker. Robbies collection of coaching experiences, his coaching philosophy and familiarity with Midwest Conference baseball stood out. Most impressive is his energy and enthusiasm for leading our baseball team. He has a clear vision for success and his approach will impact the young men in our program.

I think my experience in the Midwest Conference is going to pay dividends, Dombrowski said. My expectation is to win the thing regularly. I know the talent is there to do it. Cornell has the foundation in place.
Dombrowski was a member of the Deans List and an academic all-MWC performer. He also earned two varsity letters in football for the Green Knights.
Dombrowski earned bachelors degrees from St. Norbert in biopsychology and communication and media studies. He obtained his masters in sports administration from Belhaven (Jackson, Miss.) University in 2020.

Dombrowski attended Kettle Moraine High School in Wales, Wis. He led his prep baseball team to the 2013 state tournament and played in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Star Classic.
Dombrowski is motivated to continue his winning ways by instilling a fun culture on and off the field at Cornell.
I want every kid that comes through our program to feel that theyve had the most fun playing baseball in their life, Dombrowski said. They can expect a high-energy guy that will give them my best effort every day. I want them to know this is their program, just as much as it is mine. I want them to see their full potential.
There are no limits for Cornell College baseball. We can take this thing as far as we want to go. I want our players to believe that.

Brandon Crum was named the 24th head baseball coach in Allegheny program history on August 28, 2017.
A native of neighboring Saegertown, Pennsylvania, Crum returned to Allegheny after serving as the team's assistant coach from 2012-16.
Crum spent the 2017 season as head coach at Mercyhurst University-North East, and quickly made his mark. After a slow start, he rallied his squad to nine wins in its final 12 games of the regular season to advance to the NJCAA Region III playoffs. The Saints then swept rival Monroe Community College to earn their first regional championship since 2014, and advance to the NJCAA District Tournament.
After orchestrating the mid-season turnaround, Crum was named the NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year, while seven Saints earned All-Region accolades, highlighted by Dalton Donachie, who was named both NJCAA Regional Pitcher of the Year and Mercyhurst North East Male Athlete of the Year.
From 2012-16, Crum served as Allegheny's recruiting coordinator, while also handling the team's pitchers and catchers, calling pitches and in-game defenses, assisting with designing and implementing off-season strength and conditioning programs, and assisting with the organization of a number of youth camps and clinics. The Gators went a combined 97-60 overall, and 48-23 in the North Coast Athletic Conference over the span, qualifying for the NCAC Championship Tournament in three of the four years, including a trip to the conference title game in 2013.
Over Crum's first stint with the Gators, 12 players earned a total of 20 All-NCAC accolades, highlighted by [Joe Killian](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5214) '16, who was named the 2013 NCAC Newcomer of the Year, 2016 NCAC Player of the Year, and 2016 D3Baseball.com All-America, while earning four straight All-NCAC selections. [Chase Boyer](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5848) '17 was a three-time All-NCAC pick and was tabbed the conference's Pitcher of the Year in 2016, as the Gators swept the league's major awards for the first time since 1993. Killian and Boyer were also named All-Region by both D3Baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association in 2016, marking the second straight season for Killian to earn the honor, after he joined teammate Zach Gray on the list in 2015.
Crum began his affiliation with Allegheny baseball in 2010, when he worked as a volunteer assistant coach leading to his appointment to full-time assistant in August 2012. During his time as a volunteer assistant, he also served as Director of Athletics and Facilities at nearby Conneaut Area School District, where he was responsible for coordinating the scheduling for all athletic events, including officials and transportation, developing the district's athletic budget, and overseeing the hiring of district coaches.
He started his coaching career at the American Legion level, as he manned the helm of Saegertown's French Creek Valley squad for nine seasons, accumulating a record of 150-30. His teams won 20 or more games in six different years and earned five district championships, while advancing to the Region 8 title game in four straight seasons between 2011-14.
A catcher, Crum played collegiately at Gannon University, serving as a three-year team captain. A 2010 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection at catcher, he was named to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic team in 2008, before earning the same accolade in the PSAC in both 2009 and '10.

The most unique thing that makes EXACT different from other camps is how they teach the athletes how to talk to coaches and hold a conversation with a college coach. The camps offer a great opportunity to gain exposure that they wouldn't get otherwise. Not only do they allow players to showcase themselves in front of college coaches, they will also receive an evaluation on how they performed throughout the day.

This camp was unique in that it embraced a competitive atmosphere for the majority of the time the kids were out on the field. It enabled the coaches to see not only a players skills on the diamond, but their competitive make up as well. This aspect of the EXACT Baseball Camp keeps the day up tempo and fun for everyone involved.
Parent
My son attending your camp over the weekend and I must tell you that it was an amazing experience for both of us. I was very impressed with the one on one contact with the coaches representing California. This camp has opened my son's eyes to all the talented ball players that are competing for baseball positions within the organizations. He was given guidance to improve his performance on the field as well as in the classroom. I am so glad we were able to take part in this camp, again it was an amazing experience. Also, the attention given to the parents on understanding the process and knowing what to expect was an eye opener to us. I truly look forward to the next one and cannot wait to see how my son has improved on the field. He is also working on improving his GPA, like you mentioned it about their transcripts not how fast they can throw. Thank you for the wonderful insight and we look forward to future camps with ExactSports.
