MIAMI SHORES, Fla.— Sophie Slagle has resigned as the assistant softball coach at Barry University, director of athletics Michael L. Covone announced today.

Slagle joined the Barry University softball coaching staff in the fall of 2017. She leaves to pursue opportunities outside of softball.

Slagle came to the Bucs after working at Next College Student Athlete in Las Vegas, Nev., where she helped identify qualified student-athletes for potential scholarships and educate families on the recruiting process.

Slagle earned her bachelor's degree in physical education from Idaho State in 2016. She completed her master's degree in sports administration at South Dakota in 2018.

Barry will begin the search for her replacement immediately.
