"I could not be more excited to announce the addition of Claire to our coaching staff." Fischer said. "Coming from an incredible program like Mankato, she already has an understanding of what it's like to prepare and compete for championships every single day. I know I speak for our players in saying we can't wait to get to work with her. We've had a great offseason and Claire absolutely makes our program better."
