Chrissy Schoonmaker, a 2007 graduate of South Carolina, completed her fourth season as an assistant softball coach at the University of Connecticut in 2018.

Schoonmaker comes to Storrs after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Houston during the 2014 campaign. She worked primarily with the infielders and assisted in other areas.

Schoonmaker spent the 2012 season at Texas Tech coaching the infielders while also serving as first base coach, base running instructor and coordinating the program's camps. Prior to coaching with the Red Raiders, Schoonmaker spent two years at her alma mater, South Carolina, as the volunteer assistant.

"I am very excited to welcome Chrissy to the UConn softball family. Chrissy exudes energy and passion in everything she does," said McIntyre. "She is a tireless recruiter and shares the same vision for our program and the University of Connecticut. In addition to assisting with all aspects of the daily operations of our program, she will specifically work with our infield defense. Her previous knowledge of the conference will be a significant asset to our goals as we look to make our mark in the American Athletic Conference."

A native of Sebastian, Fla., Schoonmaker began her coaching career in 2009 as an assistant softball coach at Dreher High School in South Carolina after wrapping up her eligibility as a student-athlete.
