Sophie Slemp is excited to be joining the UMW softball staff as an Assistant Coach with an emphasis on catching. Sophie graduated from Faulkner University in 2016 with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and was a four-year starter for the Eagles. She is bringing knowledge of the game and a passion for leading young adults through their collegiate journeys. 
 
Sophie began her coaching career in 2016 for the West Florida Elite travel organization and eventually transitioned to Tennessee Fury. Although her coaching experience is limited, Sophie brings an immense attention to detail, strong communication and the ability to multitask. These are all qualities of a great leader and coach. 
 
"I am grateful for the opportunity Coach Qualls and the University of Mary Washington has given me. Coaching at the collegiate level has always been goal of mine. I am excited to continue the hard work Coach Qualls has started in creating a winning culture and supportive environment here at UMW. Get Dirty, Go Wash!"
