WAUWATOSA, WI (October 1, 2018) - Bryant & Stratton College – Wisconsin Athletics has hired Dean Herman as its new head softball coach for its NJCAA Division II program.

Herman comes from Johnson Creek High School where he served as the varsity head softball coach for four seasons compiling a 78-25 record. Herman's programs qualified for sectionals three out of the four seasons.

"I am excited to get out there and teach the game of softball to the players," Herman said. "The sky is the limit for this program if the players buy into our process."

As the founder of the Johnson Creek Yellowjackets, Herman has coached 8U through 18U levels and finished in seventh place at NAFA Nationals out of 84 total teams. 

Herman is the second softball coach at Bryant & Stratton. Herman is taking over the inaugural team that went 4-20-1 overall last season, 3-16 in Region IV.

Herman will also hold the title of Athletic Operations Coordinator for Bobcats Athletics overseeing athletic facilities partnerships and game day operations for all 11 sports.

"Dean was born to coach," Bryant & Stratton College's Associate Athletic Director Ryan Ratajewski said. "We are excited to bring Dean's energy, positive leadership and passion for sports to our developing athletics program. The Bobcats will turn some heads in Region IV as we head into year two of our softball program under Herman and his coaching staff."

Herman brings on Dan Williams and retains Jill Andreoni as assistant coaches.

Bobcats softball will begin its second season in February.    

Bryant & Stratton College launched NJCAA athletics in 2016 with men's and women's basketball and men's golf. The Bobcats added baseball and softball in spring 2017, followed by volleyball and men's and women's soccer in fall 2017.
