CLC WOMEN'S BASKETBALL COACH 'RELEASED'

Central Lakes College President Larry Lundblad released Raiders women basketball coach Brad Amundson Wednesday. Lundblad did not announce the name of a replacement. The Raider women are 1-5 this season. Amundson has compiled a 15-41 win/loss record in his three years as coach. Lundblad told the Brainerd Dispatch that the change is based on a difference in philosophy and the administration is exploring a number of options. Assistant coach Nate Hanson was also released. Amundson said in an email message that he and Hanson need "to move on to bigger and better things." The Raiders scheduled game Thursday night with North Dakot State College of Science has been canceled and forfeited. Officials say they should have a coach by Saturday's game with Fergus Falls.
