 MUNCIE -- Despite smashing success on the baseball field, Ian Nielsen found himself in a constant battle of emotions during his two years as a student at Ball State. "I'm a very strong Christian, and I came to Ball State more focused on baseball than I was on what I felt about my spiritual life," he said. "I found Ball State to be very challenging for my faith. I kind of knew that was going to challenge me, and that was fine.
"Throughout my freshman year, I felt a tug in my heart to look to a Christian college. I actually went to coach (Greg) Beals and asked about a transfer to Bethel College near my hometown (of LaPorte, Ind.)."

"I'm very happy for him, because he has made inquiries the past several years, and has made it no secret he wanted to become a head coach one day. He's fulfilled part of his life dream," CU head coach Beauford Sanders said.
Hortness will begin work immediately in Madison, S.D. He inherits a Trojans' program that was 24-20 in 2010 and finished third in the Dakota Athletic Conference. He replaces Dean Berry, who was 68-58 in three years with DSU and was hired in June as the head coach at Northern State University.

 Mike Evans has resigned after 22 seasons as Bellevue University's baseball coach, school officials announced Monday.
The Bruins plan to start the search for a new coach immediately.
The successful program was rocked just before the postseason this spring when it had to forfeit most of its wins because of using an ineligible player.
Athletic Director Ed Lehotak said he could not say if that led to Evans' decision.
