DIII 2026 Offseason News & Notes

[Scott_TG]

A couple of interesting news pieces this week:

1) St. Mary's has named Lawrence assistant Emily Bauer as the new head coach of the Cardinals. She is also the former head coach of the Wisconsin Selects U-19. Emily is the twin sister of reigning and defending National Coach of the Year Biz [Elizabeth] Bauer, the head coach of Augsburg.

The twins' first head to head battle is the Cardinal's conference opener in early November.


2) Nazareth is rumored to be purchasing an existing rink close to campus and moving in as early as this fall.

Village Sports also known as Station 31. It's a very new rink, yet Nazareth still plans on renovating it. Perhaps building areas (locker rooms, offices, etc.) just for their use? Because I can't imaging anything else needing to be renovated considering how new it is.

When the tweet I saw said close to campus I assumed it would be walking distance. 3 1/3 miles is still too far for students who don't drive to attend the games, but maybe it will help attendance from the town?
