Coach Sigmon states, "I am thankful for the support of the coaches and staff in the Nyack College Athletic Department as I step into this position. It is my commitment to build a team-first, champion culture on the team. Off the field, it is also my priority to develop a strong team bond, encourage high academic standards, passion for community, and development of faith. When that happens, we will all have a great season and a great year off the field as well."
