Senthil comes to Purchase after serving as an assistant coach at NAIA Michigan-Dearborn last season.

“I am excited to have coach Senthil on board; everyone I spoke with highly recommended him for the position because of his work ethic and character,” said Martin of his new top assistant. “Also, his championship experience with a great program in Hartwick will be invaluable to our team.”
