‘Albert is an excellent young coach and classroom teacher with a proven
track record of leadership at the college,’ Yglesias said. ‘The college
community is excited about Albert continuing the by-the-rules, winning
tradition in 21 sports programs, which has been the hallmark of Ruslter
athletics under (past Ads) Dean (Fred) Owens and Tom Hermstad.’
