Leslie Adams Last College: Florida State '94 Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 5th Year

Leslie Adams enters her fifth year as assistant softball coach on the Cardinal coaching staff. Her responsibilities include recruiting and working with the catchers and defense.

Adams comes to U of L from the ranks of professional softball, where she was a starting catcher and outfielder for the Carolina Diamonds for three seasons in the Women's Professional Softball League (WPSL). Besides her playing experience, Adams has coached at both the high school and collegiate levels.

"One of the many great things about Leslie is her versatility," said head coach Sandy Pearsall. "She can play and coach virtually every position but pitcher. Our players benefit from her excellent teaching skills."

She was an assistant coach at Florida State for two years where she maintained pitching and hitting charts and assisted with practice. From there she joined Pearsall's staff at Miami University in Ohio where she was an assistant from 1995-96. There she recruited, planned practices and assisted with camps and clinics.

In 1996, Adams entered the high school ranks as head coach at Mecklenburg High School in Charlotte, N.C., where she also coached volleyball. She entered private business in 1997 when she joined the Carolina Diamonds.

The 1994 graduate of Florida State University was a two-time All-ACC selection and was twice named to the all-Southeast Region.
