Swimming and diving

Mack Rhoades announced Nattaya Klim as the university's new swimming and diving coach.

She comes from Penn State, where she was an assistant and recruiting coordinator.

A few swimmers have told me that former coach Brian Vereb left the program after his wife took a job in a different area.

Baseball

Akron lost its 10th straight game today at Pittsburgh, 10-6.

The Zips have now lost 25 of 27 games after starting the season 5-1.

Buchtelite baseball reporter Adam Ferrise writes that pitching and defense have left the team wanting.

Softball

Akron lost 9-0 to Penn State on Wednesday.

The Zips' bats have gone cold the past few games, knocking only six hits over a 20-inning drought.

Volleyball

Here is a Plain Dealer blurb about a recruit from Walsh Jesuit, Megan Rodriguez.

This also marks my first-ever entry on volleyball.

Track

Here is another PD blurb about a future Akron athlete.

Carrie Kayes won the state championship for Division I pole vault last year. I'm sure coach Dennis Mitchell's expertise in the pole vault played a part in bringing her to Akron.
