athletics department at Mount Saint Vincent,” Spinner said. “As a Coach, it
has been incredible to see the changes in this school during the last year and
a half. I am looking forward to working here full-time and to be a part of
what I think will be a very successful athletics program as a whole very
quickly.”

Inc. in Stamford, Conn., where he worked as content editor in the Global
Media Department for the last two years. Prior to that post, Spinner was the
managing eitor of the former 360Lacrosse.com, a Web site owened and operated by
