Principia College Athletic Director Lee Ellis announced today that Principia alum Alex Ferguson will be the Gold and Blue’s new head baseball.

Ferguson most recently has been head baseball coach at Presentation College in Aberdeen, South Dakota for the past four seasons. His teams over the last two years have finished in the top three of the UMAC Conference. Ferguson holds a master’s in sport management from Northern State University. He has coached with the Tom Urquhart Baseball School, Northern State, the Aberdeen Smitty’s (the 2005 South Dakota HS State Champions and American Legion Runner-up), Mac-N-Seitz Baseball and the Santa Barbara Foresters, in various capacities.

Ferguson played baseball for former coach Bill Marston at the Principia School, and current School head coach, Larry Frank while at the college. “There are few people I have met more passionate about the game or harder working than Alex. He brings energy, experience and a work ethic I think our student-athletes will appreciate and hopefully emulate.”
