"I am incredibly happy to welcome Micah on board as a Red Flash," said Yunez. "Micah exemplifies many of our core principles in his ability to develop authentic relationships, in his work ethic, and in his passion for the sport.

"First and foremost, I would just like to thank Sara and the Saint Francis athletics department for trusting me with this opportunity," said Fitz. "It was clear from the start that Sara and I share the same mission, vision, and values for this team. The principle of pursuing excellence that is deeply ingrained within the community of Saint Francis as a whole made this job extremely attractive. Alongside this, the players' portrayal of this principle as well as their sheer commitment to developing not only as players, but as people made my decision to come to Saint Francis an easy one. Overall, I am excited to get to work and eager to help guide and lead these players. I can't wait to be a part of the Red Flash community!"
