SAN ANTONIO, TX - Rowan University head softball coach Kim Wilson, one of the winningest all-time coaches in NCAA Division III softball, has been named to the 2023 National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Hall of Fame Induction Class, as announced at the organization's annual convention.
 
Wilson will be inducted into the NFCA Hall of Fame next December at the convention, along with NFCA Executive Director Carol Bruggeman, Florida State head coach Lonni Alameda and retired Moravian University head coach John Byrne.  
 
In 26 seasons as Rowan's head coach, Wilson has compiled an 836-238-2 record, while leading the Profs to eight NJAC Championships and 18 NCAA Tournament appearances, including a third-place national finish.
 
Wilson's overall record in 32 years of coaching, which includes six seasons at Washington & Jefferson College, is 901-340-2. At the start of the 2022 season, she ranked sixth in all-time wins and 16th in winning percentage among active Division III coaches.

Rowan's 18 NCAA Regional appearances under Wilson include four trips to the NCAA Super Regional, including back-to-back berths in 2018 and 2019, while the 2018 squad captured the title to advance to the NCAA Championship. The Profs also reached the Super Regional in 2014 and 2016.
 
Wilson's Profs added to the tradition in 2022 when Rowan captured the NJAC Championship and made another trip to the NCAA Tournament while posting an overall record of 35-10. She was named the NJAC Co-Coach of the Year, earning her eighth conference coaching award as she guided the Profs to the regular-season title with a 15-3 league record.

"Coach Wilson's amazing record is Hall of Fame worthy, but those of us who get to see her coach, prepare and mentor her team witness what makes her among the best of the best. Her practices have high levels of efficiency, urgency and communication. Her game coaching is highly poised and strategic. Off the field, her teams grow as people through academic excellence and community service.  We all congratulate Coach Wilson on this great honor!", said Rowan director of athletics Dr. John Giannini.
