Eric Grice was named Northland's second head baseball coach in July of 2006.  Previous to Northland, Grice was the head assistant at Pacific Lutheran University in Washington from 2003-2006.  His responsibilities included coaching outfielders and assisting with infielders, hitting and recruiting.  At PLU, the team recorded three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in school history (2004-2006) and recorded the second most wins, 25 in 2005, in school history.  The program also set five single season school records for hitting, including hits, runs and RBI's.  During the same three-year stretch, PLU finished in the Top 10 nationally in fielding percentage and was ranked regionally for the first time in 2005.  He also logged time as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Minot State University in North Dakota (2001-2002) and at Saint Mary College in Kansas (2000).  In 2003, Minot State University won the conference championship.

In his playing career, Grice set his high school record for hits in a season as a senior.  In college, he was a two-year starter at Tacoma Community College (WA) in 1993-94 and earned All-NWAACC and All-Star honors as a shortstop in 1994.  He was among the team leaders in several offensive categories, including batting and on-base average, RBI's and stolen bases.  He concluded his playing career at Washington State University in 1995.  The Cougars won the Pac-10 North that season.

Grice received his Bachelor's Degree in Broadcasting from Washington State University in 1996 and his Master's Degree in Business Management from Minot State University in 2002.
