"Of course Coach Fulks and I are extremely pleased to have the help of such an experienced and dedicated coach.  Lori is a very respected member of our staff and will bring a lot to the program," says Clark Yeager, Director of Athletics.  "This staff is really coming together and our student-athletes, current and future should feel the commitment being made to them immediately."

"I am excited to get back on the softball field and help Coach Fulks begin the process of building excellence in our softball program," said Jepsen. "We will work hard to develop our current players as well as recruit outstanding student-athletes to the program."

The search has begun for a full-time assistant softball coach to join Fulks, Jepsen and the team sometime in October.
