KENT, Ohio – Kent State University softball head coach Eric Oakley has agreed to a four-year contract extension through the 2023 season, Director of Athletics Joel Nielsen announced on Wednesday (Sept. 11).
"Over the past four years, Coach Oakley has continued to build on the championship tradition of Kent State Softball, both on the field and in the classroom," said Nielsen. "I couldn't be more thrilled to extend his contract and keep Eric in the Golden Flashes family."
Oakley has led the Golden Flashes to two Mid-American Conference championships during his tenure, and last season became the program's fastest coach to earn 100 victories.
