Saturday starts the beginning of the 2022 season for the Wichita State softball team. Head Coach Kristi Bredbenner enters her 11th season leading the Shockers.
Before Bredbenner began coaching, she grew up in O’Fallon, Missouri. She attended college at Truman State University in Kirksville, MO, on a softball scholarship. As a Bulldog, Bredbenner won multiple records including career and single season record for games played, at bats, hits, doubles, home runs, total bases, RBI’s, walks, batting averages and slugging percentage.
She is also tied for the fourth all-time Division II single game list as she hit three homeruns on April 7, 2000.
