Natalia Ardagna enters her third season with the Beacons and has already made her mark, coaching UMass Boston softball to more conference victories than any other skipper in school history. In just her first season at the Harbor Campus, the Beacons set a school record for hits as she led them to a school mark for league wins in a season. Last year, UMass Boston broke the program's record for conference victories again, including wins over three different Little East Conference opponents. Her credentials as a Head Coach are outstanding. Prior to her arrival at UMass Boston, the former catcher spent the last three seasons on the Simmons College Softball coaching staff, where she helped the Sharks to three straight playoff appearances, including her final season as the team's Head Coach, which yielded the most victories in school history with 19. Prior to her coaching career, Ardagna was an outstanding four-year player at Bridgewater State College, where she helped the Bears put together an impressive 104-64-2 record for a 61.8% winning mark, including four straight Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference titles and three trips to the NCAA Regionals. While at Bridgewater State, Ardagna earned multiple MASCAC Player of the Week accolades and was named Second Team All-Conference after leading the MASCAC in batting average and runs batted in during her senior season. A native of Revere, MA,she graduated from Bridgewater State in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and a minor in sociology, she currently resides in Revere. |
