GCAC appoints Horn, Kendrick to leadership committees

Xavier University of Louisiana AthleticsNEW ORLEANS — Xavier University of Louisiana's Jason Horn and Pat Kendrick will lead Gulf Coast Athletic Conference committees in 2018-19 following their appointment this past week to two-year terms at the league's summer meetings in Little Rock, Ark.

Horn will chair the athletic directors committee — a position he also held in 2016-17 — and Kendrick will chair the volleyball coaches committee.
     

Horn is in his fifth year at XULA after joining the staff March 31, 2014, as director of athletics & recreation.
     

"I am honored to be named chair of the ADs, and I am extremely proud to represent Xavier University in that capacity," Horn said. "I look forward to serving the GCAC and helping in its continued growth and development."
     

Kendrick is in her second year at XULA. In 2017 she led the Gold Nuggets to a 23-3 record, GCAC regular-season and tournament championships and a berth in the NAIA National Championship. She was voted Louisiana Coach of the Year.
     

"I am grateful to the conference leadership and our volleyball coaches for being offered this opportunity," Kendrick said. "I look forward to working with the other coaches to enhance GCAC volleyball."
     

Kendrick will serve for the second straight year as the GCAC rater for the NAIA Coaches' Top 25 Poll.
     

Horn will succeed Stanley Cromartie of Edward Waters, and Kendrick will succeed Nancy Sikobe of Dillard.
