Cady Byrnes returns to the Tigers coaching staff after a year away. During her prior stint at ECU, Byrnes was a graduate assistant coach for two seasons.
Byrnes spent the last year as the head coach for the Allen Junior High and High School fast and slow pitch teams. She helped the team finished second in their conference tournament, the highest finish in school history.

The first time Brynes joined the Tigers was after a standout career at Ottawa University (Kansas).
