USSSA Pride News Release
Kissimmee, FL - USSSA Florida Pride Head Coach Lonni Alameda has been named the ACC Coach of the Year.
USSSA would like to congratulate Lonni on her fourth-straight ACC Coach of the Year honor and the Seminoles on their fourth consecutive ACC regular season championship title.
"This has been a great season so far for this team and this program and I'm proud of what they all have achieved and are being recognized for," said Alameda.
Alameda has led the Noles to a 21-2 record in conference play and 45-8 overall and continues to transform the Noles softball program into one of the top college programs. With seven players earning postseason conference recognition and three individual conference awards, the post season looks bright for the Seminoles.
"It is an honor and we have some amazing coaches in our conference, and we are all trying to push softball to higher levels and represent the ACC well," said Alameda. "I'm really proud of this team. We talked about being a young squad in the beginning, but due to the leadership of our upperclassmen and their ability to keep the freshmen's heads above water, it has put us in a great position postseason-wise. As a coaching staff, it's been awesome to see the light bulbs continue to go off when we see them believe and trust in the process. And this is definitely a coaching staff award and a coaching staff program award. We're really honored to represent the ACC."
