Alyssa Richards promoted to Associate Head Softball Coach
Richards has worked with Coach Dillender since 2017
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.
“Rich has been a part of our success since 2017, and was pivotal in our run at Cumberlands over the last 3 years,” Dillender exclaimed. “I’m so thrilled that all parties agreed to her promotion as it is something I’ve been trying to accomplish for Rich for several years now. 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. Over the last three seasons, her staffs have ranked in the top 21 nationally at the NAIA level. In 2024-25, the Patriots ranked in the top 13 in ERA, WHIP, and opponent batting average.
The 2022-23 campaign saw the Patriots finish 8th in the NAIA with a team ERA of 1.80.
