Tanner Spencer, the 2026 Northern Sun Coach of the Year, is set to leave the University of Mary baseball program after a season that produced a program‑record 37 victories.
Spencer's Next Step
The Marauders finished third in both the regular season and the league tournament, earned votes in the NCAA Division II poll, and captured five NSIC tournament appearances under Spencer’s guidance. He also coached multiple athletes to individual honors, including two All‑Americans, and departs with a career record of 155‑155 overall and 116‑100 in conference play.
Spencer will now pursue a coaching position at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, where he hopes to continue developing talent and building on the foundation he created at Mary.
His departure marks the end of an era for the program, but the impact of his leadership will be felt for years to come as the team looks to build on the momentum he helped generate.
The move also underscores the growing appeal of coaching opportunities in the region, as institutions seek experienced leaders who can translate success at the Division II level to new challenges.
