After Gallaudet, he returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach from then moved to Catamount Country. ISLANDS OF THE BAHAMAS SHOWCASE: YEAR 1 AND 2 Towson played in the second annual Islands of the Bahamas Showcase in Nassau two weeks ago, the same tournament that Vermont won last year.

UVM handled Coastal Carolina in the semifinal round before taking on eventual Horizon League regular season champion Northern Kentucky in the championship game.
