“I am excited to join the Pomona-Pitzer staff and look forward
to being a Sagehen,” said White. “I was impressed by the
intelligence and maturity of the team. Every student-athlete
that I have spoken with mentions the team atmosphere as a huge
factor in their choice to attend Pomona and Pitzer Colleges. The
amazing facilities combined with the great weather make this a
spectacular place to be a coach.” |
