We are approaching the peak of Fall Ball, and In The Circle will make its way into The Valley; the Missouri Valley Conference, that is.

 We begin in Carbondale, Illinois, as we speak with new Southern Illinois Head Coach Jen Sewell. After serving as a longtime assistant under legendary coach Kerri Blaylock, Coach Sewell reflects on her opportunity to lead the Saluki program. She talks about SIU, the outlook for her team in 2023, an always competitive MVC, and much more.

 Afterward, we chat with longtime Missouri State Head Coach Holly Hesse. The defending MVC Tournament Champions leader talks to In The Circle about being at Missouri State for 35 years. She also shares her thoughts on the new look of MVC, the 2023 Season outlook, and more.
