EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville head softball coach Bailey Dillender has announced the promotion of Alyssa Richards to Associate Head Coach for the Purple Aces squad. Richards has worked with Dillender since 2017.

Can’t imagine doing this thing without her. Nobody is more deserving.”
Richards is in charge of the pitching staff and catchers for the UE squad while assisting with the hitters. She will also be working with game analysis/breakdown.
In her time with Dillender at University of the Cumberlands, Richards directed one of the top pitching staffs in the nation.
