Progress with NC State Softball, I don't think we have qualified for ACC Tournament in a few years.
Would need to win the ACC Tournament to get a NCAA Tournament spot for softball.

I don't really know, but as you said we haven't even been in the ACCT the last few years so this is progress. After what Leftwich was left to work with I pleased

Agree and Lindsay Leftwich has very limited resources and no meaningful NIL benefactors to rely upon. It would be quite the accomplishment for NC State to make NCAA Tournament in near future.

Awesome and Congrats to Morgan. Hope we hang onto her in the offseason and not lose her to another team via portal.

I had no idea Coach Leftwitch was also Associate Head Coach of the professional Carolina Blaze team.

I did look there are currently no NC State Softball alums in the AUSL. Maybe someday.

Leftwich is serving as the Carolina Blaze associate head coach this summer. The third-year Wolfpack leader had opportunities to coach at the professional level for several years, but this was the first time it worked out. Blaze General Manager Dana Sorensen contacted Leftwich in November about the opportunity. They've known each other for more than a decade, and Sorensen has ties to the UNC and N.C. State softball programs.

"It was an opportunity that I couldn't say no to, because of all the things it would do for the team, for my own professional development, for N.C. State, for all of the really cool opportunities it would provide for all of us," Leftwich said Friday. "I went to the administration and made my pitch on why I think this would be really good for us. My athletic director, Boo Corrigan, was 100% behind it and fired up about it."

Pat Poplizio (wrestling) and Braden Holloway (swim and dive) deserve credit for helping Leftwich pursue the gig. Their external work has paid dividends for the university, which has produced NCAA champions and international competitors in both sports. "They did some of that legwork for me," Leftwich said of her colleagues. "I got to piggyback off the things they're already doing. … This isn't an opportunity that many people get, and they choose me. Choosing me is a great reflection of them also choosing N.C. State."

Leftwich's experience working with some of the top players and coaches in the sport will benefit the future of N.C. State. Kayla Kowalik (Texas Tech) and Aubrey Leach (Tennessee) work as assistant coaches during the collegiate season. Leftwich talked with Leach about preparing players to hit change-ups, and Tennessee's approach.

Plus, the university hopes it boosts recruiting. N.C. State ranks in the national top 25 for 2025 and 2026 signing classes, but it hasn't done quite as well with the transfer portal. "This is just another opportunity to put N.C. State in the forefront of people's brains, and it gives players another avenue or belief that they have a chance to play after college," Leftwich said. "My connection to the AUSL hopefully gives us that."

At the conclusion of this season, however, she will speak with N.C. State administrators and her staff to evaluate its return on investment and whether it's something that could be pursued again. "I think the biggest defining factor in all of this is as much as I like this and as much as I think it's helping N.C. State can I still run N.C. State well and give N.C. State the attention that it deserves during these summer months?" Leftwich said.
