Head Coach : Frank Rizzo
Head coach Frank Rizzo of Concordia University in his 7th season at the helm brought plenty of luck to the Eagles as they set a school record for wins (45), qualifying for their 1st-ever NAIA National Tournament. The Eagles took 6th place in their maiden national voyage after earning 2nd place in the NAIA Region II Tournament while moving to the lofty perches of #8 in the NAIA Softball Ratings.
In just his fourth season, Coach Rizzo became Concordia softball's all-time winningest coach. He broke the 100 win plateau in the middle of the 2002 season and has broken the school's softball win record for the third straight season. He was named the GSAC Coach of the Year after guiding the Eagles to a 18-10 conference mark. Last season, he moved over the 250-win mark to help boost his average wins to almost 32 per campaign.
