🔼 New Title. Head coach Mark Stoops promoted Chris Collins to co-defensive coordinator/defensive backs coach. Stoops also hired Derek Shay as the quality control coach for the offense. Collins starts his fourth season with the Wildcats. Shay was the former tight ends coach at Marshall. Before that, he was the senior offensive analyst at Missouri and was a graduate assistant tight ends coach at LSU.

🔼 One After Another. After hitting a three-run home run, Erin Coffel became Kentucky softball’s all-time runs batted-in leader. She currently has 203 RBIs and so many more games in the season. The Cats beat Marshall 7-0, and Stephanie Schoonover pitched the complete game shutout.
