Tracie Adix-Zins has been hired as the next head coach at DePaul.
Adix-Zins had most recently been an assistant coach at North Carolina State under Shawn Rychcik for three seasons. She tutored the Wolfpack pitching staff during her time at NC State and led the staff to a 3.51 cumulative ERA and 230 strikeouts in the 2018 campaign.
Prior to her tenure at North Carolina State, Adix-Zins had also been an assistant coach at Oklahoma State, Wisconsin, and South Dakota State, serving as the pitching coach in each stop. The DePaul position will be her first as a head coach.
A DePaul alum, Adix-Zins earned second-team all-American honors as a senior and was a part of the 2007 Blue Demons squad that reached the Women’s College World Series. She was additionally named the Big East Pitcher of the Year in 2007.
She takes over a DePaul program that was previously led by Eugene Lenti for thirty-seven years until his retirement in June. The Blue Demons went 35-17 in the 2018 season, collecting a 15-3 mark in Big East conference play. The squad earned the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
