As the softball season wraps up, Lindsay Diehl reflects on her first season as Drake University’s head softball coach. Diehl said that she has followed Drake softball for the past 20 years and has always respected the program, so when she got the job as head coach, “it seemed like the perfect storm.”
During her transition into the position, Diehl felt very welcomed by Drake, its coaches, the Athletic Department and the fans. Families and friends of softball players traveled with the team all season, which, according to Diehl, made it fun to go on the road for games.
