STATESBORO, Ga. - Kim Dean has been named the head softball head coach at Georgia Southern, as announced Tuesday by athletic director Tom Kleinlein.
Dean makes the move to Statesboro after one successful season at Armstrong State University. In her lone season with the Pirates - the program's last due to the consolidation with Georgia Southern - she led her team to an appearance at the NCAA Championships and a 38-14 record. The Pirates won the NCAA Southeast Region No. 2 at home and then went on the road to sweep North Georgia in the Super Regionals to reach the national championship tournament, where they won two games before falling in the semifinals.
