Robert Morris University Director of Athletics
Craig Coleman, M.D., announced Monday that

Stahura, a native of Butler, Pa., has spent the past four seasons as an assistant coach with the Colonials.
"We're very happy that Nelle has agreed to step up and assume control of our rowing program," Coleman said.
