Southland Conference.
"I'm
very excited and elated about the opportunity to coach at
Northwestern," Clark said. "I know about the tradition of the
program and the school, and to be selected as the head coach is quite an
honor. I believe that we can have a winning program that will represent
the school and the city very well."
"Everyone
who has worked with Todd said the same thing, that he was very
instrumental in the success of their programs and was willing to work as
hard as he could to win," said Barton. "I'm looking forward to
having him become a part of our athletic program."
