CROOKSTON, Minn. - We take "Golden Eagle Insider" to Zoom, as Shawn Smith and Hunter Plante talk to Head Softball Coach Travis Owen. Smith and Plante talk to Owen about what he has been doing during quarantine, as well as what he has been doing to stay in touch with the Minnesota Crookston softball team. In addition, Smith and Plante talk to Owen about some of his favorite hobbies, and his excitement for the 2021 softball season. In addition, Smith and Plante talk to Owen about how he first decided to become a coach, some of his major influences in his career, and his experience during a year spent in New Zealand playing and coaching softball.

This is the first episode of the Golden Eagle Insider that we have done over Zoom. During the summer months, we will sit down with Minnesota Crookston coaches and athletic staff to check in to see what they have been up to, and learn more about their background before coming to Minnesota Crookston.
