WICHITA, Kan. – Wichita State softball has named its new pitching coach, and it's a familiar name – Presley Bell.
Bell recently completed her master's degree at Wichita State and served as a graduate manager/graduate assistant for the Shockers the past two seasons. Additionally, head coach Kristi Bredbenner announced that assistant coach Elizabeth Economon has been promoted to associate head coach.
This past season Bell took on a larger role after the previous pitching coach resigned before the start of the 2021 season. Just two years removed from her playing days at the University of Houston, Bell was a key figure in helping the Shocker pitching staff have an outstanding season in the circle.
