Lemmens Resigns MSUB Softball Post (5/2/07)

BILLINGS, MT –Kim Lemmens announced Wednesday that she has resigned her position as head softball coach at Montana State-Billings for personal reasons and to pursue other professional opportunities.  The resignation will be effective as of June 30, the end of the university’s fiscal year.  Lemmens’s other coaching stops have included Colorado State and Fort Hays State.

“I’ve enjoyed my time here and the people I’ve worked with,” said Lemmens.  “The team had a good year.  There’s a good core to build upon, and I wish the student-athletes the best in the future.”

Lemmens coached Montana State-Billings to a 26-24 record in her only season at the school.  The Yellowjackets placed third in the Heartland Conference with a 10-5 record.  They were 2-2 at last week’s Heartland Conference Tournament, losing out to Incarnate Word 7-5 in 13 innings, the longest game in school history.

Dr. Gary Gray, Director of Athletics, said the school will immediately begin a national search for a replacement.
