    Administrator / Coach, Baseball
Sjogren played, and ultimately, coached for the Bryant baseball team, posting a 360-301-1 record in his 15 years as the head coach - becoming the winningest coach in school history. Before assuming the coaching duties, Sjogren earned All-New England and all-conference recognition as a player and finished his career with a .370 batting average. As a coach, he led the Bulldogs to three NCAA tournament appearances and four Northeast-10 conference titles. In 2004, Sjogren led Bryant to its first NCAA Regional Championship and berth in the College World Series. The Bulldogs finished the season with a school record 40 wins and a No. 6 national ranking. Sjogren was named Northeast-10 Coach of the Year four times in his tenure with Bryant and led the team to three NCAA Championship appearances. He is still the only Bulldog to have won a conference championship and appear in an NCAA tournament as both a player and a head coach.
