SCOUTING CUI
Logan Glave was recently promoted to interim head coach of CUI MVB after Chris Seiffert resigned mid-season. Glave, a CUI alumni, is supported by three other former alumni as volunteer assistant coaches. Clement Osahon Jr. has developed into a dominant middle blocker for Concordia, ranking No. 7 in MPSF hitting percentage after being discovered playing intramural volleyball at the University of Houston. He has grown into a versatile weapon for the Golden Eagles.
