Brittany Weil, former University of Iowa Hawkeye’s softball team standout, has joined the NDSU women’s fastpitch softball coaching staff as a graduate assistant. She will work with pitchers.

Weil was an all-region and all-conference honoree for the Hawkeyes and the seventh overall pick in the National Pro Fastpitch Senior Draft by the Akron Racers. Weil departed the University of Iowa with school records for strikeouts, innings pitched, complete games, games pitched and no-hitters.

She graduated from Iowa in May with a bachelor’s degree in communication studies.
