Arkansas softball coach Courtney Deifel began coaching career at Oklahoma

On the heels of a series sweep against Iowa State, the No. 11 OU softball team will host No. 25 Arkansas on Wednesday night for Bark at the Park.

For one member of the Razorbacks' team, the trip back to Norman is a familiar one. Arkansas head coach Courtney Deifel began her coaching career under current OU head coach Patty Gasso as a graduate assistant with the Sooners in 2006.

SEC Country writer, and former OU beat writer Jason Kersey caught up with Deifel before Wednesday night's game:

Courtney Deifel’s parents always preached that she should use softball to gain any advantage possible for as long as she could.
