KENT, Ohio – Kent State head coach Eric Oakley announced the hiring of assistant coaches Emlyn Knerem
In their roles with the Golden Flashes, Knerem will mentor the pitchers and catchers, while Pettipiece works closely with outfielders, base running and slap hitters.
Knerem, a Brunswick native, returns to Northeast Ohio after two seasons as an assistant coach at West Virginia Wesleyan, where she helped the Bobcats to a 92-19 (.829) record and back-to-back NCAA Division II Super Regional appearances. Knerem was instrumental in the development of Hannah Vet, who was named Mountain East Conference (MEC) Pitcher of the Year in each of her first two collegiate seasons.
