New University of Maine men’s basketball coach Chris Markwood has added another veteran assistant coach to his staff. Pete Gash brings 15 years of NCAA Division I experience to the Orono campus, most recently last season as an assistant at Wagner College in New York City where the Seahawks went 21-6 overall and 15-3 in Northeast Conference play en route to a berth in the league’s championship game. During the season, Wagner compiled the nation’s longest Division I winning streak of 17 games and garnered votes in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. “We are very excited to be welcoming Pete Gash to our staff here at UMaine,” Markwood said.
