What to expect from Penn State softball’s new head coach

As Penn State ushers in a different era of softball, new head coach Clarisa Crowell will be at the forefront of significant changes to the program.

Formerly the head coach of the Miami (Ohio) RedHawks for the last eight seasons, Crowell was named the 2019 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year for leading her team to a 35-16 record, including a 16-4 finish in conference play.

Crowell’s pitching staff shut out the opponent 11 times in the 2019 campaign.

Albeit cut short in 2020, the RedHawks were off to a 12-8 start on the heels of some excellent pitching performances.
