CMU softball coaches named staff of the year

Posted

The Central Methodist softball coaching staff (head coach Pat Reardon, associate head coach Gene Reardon, and assistant coach Jonathan Lynch) were named the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s Region V staff of the year last Tuesday by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.

This marks the seventh time Coach Reardon and his staff have been recognized by the NFCA, with the last time coming in 2016.

 The Eagles finished a remarkable year with an overall record of 42-7 and an outstanding 27-1 mark in conference play. CMU swept the regular season and tournament championships for the first time since the 2014 season and rattled off 28 consecutive wins from March 16 through May 6. The 28-game win streak marks the most by the program in the last 15 seasons.

Coach Reardon was named the 2022 Heart of America Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, coaching nine Heart All-Conference selections. Those All-conference selections included the Heart player-of-the-year sophomore Madison White, and Heart freshman-of-the-year Mikayla Johnico.

In addition, the Eagles advanced to the Opening Round Championship of the Bowling Green bracket as the No. 1 seed in this year’s NAIA National Championship.

This past season was Reardon’s 30th at the helm of the softball program. Reardon boasts an all-time record of 891-556-1, just nine wins shy of 900 for his career.
