Hired in August 2014 Devon Kelly will begin her third season as an assistant coach with the Quinnipiac softball program.
A graduate of Adelphi University in 2013 with a B.S. in Physical and Health Education Kelly was a Magna cum Laude graduate. In January 2015 she will have graduated from the University of New Haven with an M.S. in College Athletic Administration.
During Kelly's time at Adelphi, she was a starter and captain. During her senior year, Kelly helped lead her team on a run at the College World Series, winning an East Region title then going on to host a Super Regional contest. Kelly helped the team finish as the No.14 ranked team in the country and the No. 4 team in the country in team GPA through the NFCA. Kelly ended with a career ERA of 1.81 with 34 wins in her junior and senior years. During her two seasons at Adelphi, Kelly was selected as an NFCA All-American in 2012 & 2013.
Devon has a deep understanding of the game as she has had plenty of experience coaching. She began coaching at the Frozen Ropes Long Island Training Facility where she was an instructor that specialized in pitching. Coached the 14U softball program assisted the 18U program in 2011 & 2012.
Her most recent experience was at the University of New Haven. There she helped the Chargers recruit, game plan, and perform administrative tasks. However her two main impacts on the program were helping the team both academically and the pitching staff. At UNH Kelly was the academic liaison monitoring academic progress for the players. Devon also helped the pitching staff ending the season with a staff ERA of 1.76. Both pitchers received Second Team All NE-10 Conference Honors as well as one pitcher receiving Daktronics All Region, second team accolades.
At Quinnipiac she will look to bring her pitching and academic background to help the Bobcats both on and off the field.
Currently resides in West Haven, Conn.
