Softball fills assistant coaching positions

Jeff Cottrill, fresh off a stint at Houston, previously crafted powerful offenses as hitting coach at Missouri and helped Oklahoma State reach the Women's College World Series twice during his seven seasons. Joining him is Shelby Pendley, whose own impressive background as a player and coach will add a fresh perspective to the team. These strategic hires show Tech's clear intention to elevate its program, especially as they compete against top-tier Big 12 rivals on their home turf at Rocky Johnson Field.

For students heading to games across from the United Supermarkets Arena or families driving in from Raintree, these additions promise a more competitive and exciting Red Raider squad. Expect more consistent hitting, sharper defensive strategies, and a boost in recruiting efforts for future seasons. Can these seasoned coaches finally push Tech softball past the regional round and onto the national stage that Lubbock craves?
