GREENVILLE, N.C. -- NC State softball assistant coach Courtney Oliver has been named the head coach at East Carolina, according to an announcement on the program's website on Friday.

Oliver spent the past three seasons on head coach Shawn Rychcik's staff as the pitching coach and also worked with the infielders. Under her leadership, pitcher Emily Weiman became the first 100-game winner in program history and was also the first Wolfpack pitcher to be named ACC Pitcher of the Year.

"I'm excited and happy for Courtney to have the opportunity to be a head coach," said Rychcik. "Obviously, we're sad to see her go and she will be greatly missed, but I think she's ready for her first head coaching job and will do great things at ECU. I want to thank her for all of her contributions to our program and wish her the best in the future."
