Sandy Pearsall recently announced her retirement after serving as the University of Louisville’s head softball coach since the program’s inception in 2000 through the 2018 season. Pearsall guided the Cardinals to 718 wins, six conference championships, 13 NCAA regional appearances and four regional finals and served as a host site in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Her teams produced 30 or more wins 17 times, tallying eight seasons with at least 40 victories.
On March 4, 2018, Louisville defeated Eastern Illinois 6-0 at Ulmer Stadium to mark the 700th win in school history - all under Pearsall. The 2018 squad went on to register a 33-20 overall record with a lineup that featured five underclassmen. Upon the completion of the season, Megan Hensley and Caitlin Ferguson garnered National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region honors with Hensley and Sidney Melton representing Louisville on the All-ACC first team and Maddy Newman collecting all-freshmen squad recognition. Additionally, Jenna Jordan and Celene Funke added their names to the list of the Cardinals’ CoSIDA Academic All-America honorees.
In 2017, Louisville amassed a 31-19 record and posted a 14-8 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) to finish in second place in the league’s final regular season standings. Five players earned all-ACC honors with Maryssa Becker garnering her fourth-straight all-conference nod.
Pearsall’s 2016 team posted a 35-17 overall record and finished second in the ACC regular season standings with a 15-8 mark in league play. Maryssa Becker, the 2016 ACC Softball Scholar Athlete of the Year, earned first team all-conference honors for the second straight season while Hailey Smith, Jordan McNary and Megan Hensley were named to the second team. Hensley became the second freshman in program history (following Becker) to earn NFCA All-Central Region honors and was a top 25 finalist for NFCA Freshman of the Year. The Cards capped the 2016 campaign with Louisville’s 13th straight NCAA appearance.
On April 23, 2016 the Cardinals defeated Syracuse 4-0 in the first game of a doubleheader at Ulmer Stadium. With the win, head coach Sandy Pearsall registered her 900th career victory and 650th win at Louisville. She has registered a 904-664 overall mark along with 654-332 record at Louisville; producing 13 consecutive winning seasons (15 winning seasons in the 17-year history of the program).
In 2015, Louisville registered a 30-19 overall record and a 16-7 mark in its inaugural season in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Becker notched her second All-Central Region honors and joined seniors Whitney Arion and Kelsi Jones on the All-ACC first team.
The softball team was one of four UofL teams to be recognized among the nation’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) leaders in multi-year report released in 2015. The report honors programs ranked among the top 10 percent in their respective sports and measures academic eligibility, retention and graduation for student-athletes.
The Cardinals posted a program-best combined 3.382 GPA during the 2014-15 academic year, including a record 3.425 GPA for the 2015 spring semester with 20 players named to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll by achieving a 3.0 or higher GPA. Additionally, 15 softball players were named Red & Black Scholars after producing a GPA of 3.25 or higher.
The 2014 Cardinals captured Louisville’s sixth conference title when they won the American Athletic Conference tournament championship. That season, freshman Maryssa Becker was named to the 2014 NFCA Division I All-Central Region second team as a pitcher/utility player. She became the first Louisville freshman to earn all-region honors since Keola Calderon was named to the South Region second team in 2000, the program’s inaugural season. Additionally, Becker was named one of the top 25 finalists for the inaugural NFCA Division I National Freshman of the Year trophy
Five Cardinals earned American All-Conference honors: seniors Katie Keller and Taner Fowler were named to the first team while juniors Whitney Arion and Kayla Soles and freshman Maryssa Becker were selected to the second team.
In the 2013 season, Pearsall led her squad to a 47-13 overall record, marking the eighth time Louisville has recorded 40 or more wins and the 10th straight season with 30 or more wins. The Cards reached several milestones in 2013 including setting new single season records for runs (390) and home runs (63). Louisville also tied program highs in the national coaches polls, appearing at No. 7 in the ESPN.com/USA Softball poll and No. 8 in the USA Today/NFCA poll - they went on to spend four weeks among the nation’s top 10. Louisville also posted its first win over a top-ranked team when it defeated No. 1 Oklahoma 5-1 in Norman and remained one of only four teams to beat the eventual national champion.
On April 28, 2013, the Cardinals defeated Georgetown 10-1 to mark head coach Sandy Pearsall’s 800th career victory.
Taking the Program to New Heights
Pearsall helped guide the 2012 Cards to a program-best 55-5 record while capturing the BIG EAST regular season and tournament titles. UofL spent the majority of the season ranked in the top 10 of the ESPN.com/USA Softball and USA Today/NFCA coaches’ polls, appearing as high as Nos. 7 and 9 respectively. The season culminated with the Cards earning a No. 15 overall seed in the NCAA tournament and serving as host for the NCAA Regionals.
With the team’s success came individual accolades. Taner Fowler and Tori Collins earned NFCA All-America honors, while five Cardinals were selected to the All-Great Lake Region teams and a program-best nine players earned All-BIG EAST honors. Pearsall, Carol Bruggeman and Courtney Scott were voted the 2012 BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year and the NFCA Great Lakes Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
Building Blocks of Success...
The 2012 season’s success came on the heels of an injury-plagued 2011 campaign in which the Cards posted a 38-20 record. In that year, Louisville finished runner-up in the BIG EAST Conference tournament and hosted an NCAA regional for the second time in three years. The Cardinals accomplished those feats with four freshmen and seven underclassmen in the starting lineup after an injury-plagued season.
In 2010, the Cards posted a 41-19 overall record and advanced to the finals of their seventh NCAA regional but fell to eventual Women’s College World Series participant Tennessee in Knoxville. Louisville was runner-up in the 2010 BIG EAST Conference championship behind performances from 2010 BIG EAST Player of the Year Chelsea Bemis and two-time All-America selection Melissa Roth.
The 2009 campaign brought a record-setting 48-11 overall record and was a mainstay in the top 25 rankings, reaching as high as No. 14 in the NFCA and USA Softball polls. The Cards also notched their sixth straight NCAA regional appearance and were selected to host a regional for the first time in school history.
The Cardinals added two more players to All-America status when catcher Melissa Roth was named to the NFCA second team and pitcher Kristen Wadwell earned third team honors. Roth was also named BIG EAST Player of the Year and was selected to the USA Softball Pan American Qualifier team.
Success at Louisville has continued to build under Pearsall’s watch. In 2007, the Cardinals won the BIG EAST Conference tournament and earned the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament as Louisville made its fourth straight NCAA appearance.
In 2006, the Cards had a breakout season, earning an NCAA at-large bid and advanced to the regional finals for the first time in school history. UofL also made its first appearance in the national rankings and finished the season at No. 17 in the NFCA poll. UofL also posted a program-best 45-11 overall record and won the BIG EAST regular season with a 19-3 record while winning BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year along with associate coach Carol Bruggeman and assistant Karen Marr.
Pearsall posted her 500th career win on May 6, 2006 when the Cardinals defeated Rutgers 3-0. This is a distinctive mark in any career, but especially one which has seen the beginning of two softball programs.
In 2005, the Louisville set a new school record with 43 overall wins. They closed their stay in Conference USA with a 20-4 league tally and the regular season title. Louisville earned its second consecutive at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The 2005 success improved upon the Cards’ 2004 breakout season in which they had set a record with 41 overall wins and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament in only their fifth year as a program.
In the beginning...
Pearsall was tabbed to start the softball program at the University of Louisville and brought with her both head coaching experience and program building expertise. She helped christen UofL’s Ulmer Stadium with a winning season and earned 2000 Conference USA Coach of the Year honors along the way. Louisville followed its inaugural season with a 40-26 campaign in 2001.
Under Pearsall’s guidance, the Cardinals have 101 all-league selections (27 All-Conference USA/54 BIG EAST, five American Athletic Conference, 14 Atlantic Coast Conference). Louisville’s individual honors have included two Players of the Year (Melissa Roth -2009, Chelsea Bemis - 2010), two league Pitchers of the Year (Catherine Bishop - BIG EAST, 2006/Aja Sherman, C-USA, 2005), MVP (Courtney Moore - C-USA, 2005), and Freshman of the Year (Audrey Rendon - C-USA, 2004).
In 2006, Lacy Wood became U of L’s first softball All-American, earning third team honors. Kristen Wadwell (2009) and Melissa Roth joined the All-America ranks with Roth earning the honor twice (2009 and 2010). Tori Collins and Taner Fowler became the fourth and fifth players to earn All-America honors in 2012. Alicja Wolny and Katie Keller joined the list when they were named second team All-Americans in 2013. The Cardinals have placed 26 players on NFCA Regional teams and Shannon Nord was named to the 2004 NCAA regional tournament team in Louisville’s first appearance.
Before her time at UofL...
Pearsall came to UofL after a six-year stint as head coach at Miami University (Ohio). At Miami, she collected her 250th career win and mentored nine All-MAC selections and 16 Academic All-MAC honorees in addition to seven academic all-district selections. In 2012, she was inducted into the Miami University Cradle of Coaches Association, joining Randy Ayers, Thad Matta, Joe Novak and Sue Ramsey to comprise the Cradle of Coaches Class of 2012-13.
Before her stint in Oxford, Ohio, Pearsall spent three seasons as head coach at Colorado State, where she posted a 78-68 mark. While at CSU, she was successful in developing the Rams into an annual contender for the Western Athletic Conference championship. Her 1990 squad captured the league title and earned Pearsall Conference Coach of the Year honors.
This was not the first time Pearsall had been asked to build a program from the ground up. In 1988, she headed the newly-formed Florida A&M team and led the squad to 36 wins in two seasons. Prior to FAMU, she took the University of San Francisco softball team from the cellar of the conference to second place in just three years. Her efforts did not go unnoticed as she earned NorPac Conference Coach of the Year honors.
Pearsall began her coaching career as the outfield coach at the University of the Pacific. In her two seasons there, she coached a pair of All-America honorees. As a part of the 1984 team, Pearsall was inducted into the Pacific Hall of Fame for the team’s fifth place finish at nationals, the best finish in UOP history. She was inducted into the Stockton Hall of Fame in 2003.
