Congratulations to New Colorado State University Softball Coach Michelle Gascoigne

Michelle Gascoigne is going from the Wildcats to the Rams. Michelle is the new head coach for the Rams softball team.

I have known Michelle since she played for the Chicago Bandits in 2014. Prior to that, I remember watching her pitch for the University of Oklahoma. She was a key pitcher as the Bandits won the National Pro Fastpitch championship in 2015. She began her coaching career as a grad assistant at Oklahoma in 2014, before joining Northwestern in late 2015. She has been with the Cats since then.

Michelle was always great for a quick picture, chat or interview. It's bittersweet, as I am happy to see Michelle get a head coaching position, but I am sad to see her leave NU and the Chicago area. 

I thank Michelle for her kindness over the years, as well as all she did on and off the field. She is a champ and I wish her much success at Colorado State. I'll be following her career there and hopefully see her again sometime.
