Head Coach Wes Landrum

Wes Landrum took over at Alvernia in July 2018 staff following 13 years as the head coach at Frostburg State University.
View Wes's Bio ⟩

In his first year with Alvernia in 2019, Landrum led the Golden Wolves to a MAC Championship appearance and an overall record of 24-18-1. The following year, Alvernia was off to an 8-4 start before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Landrum began his coaching career as an assistant softball coach for Frostburg State in 2002, and in 2005 he was promoted to head coach. During his 13 years with the program, Landrum accumulated a 321-227 record, and led his team to the conference tournament all 13 years.

In 2010, Frostburg State won the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference tournament and earned the program's first berth into the NCAA tournament. Landrum was named the AMCC Coach of the Year in 2010, Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the Year (2017), and ECAC DIII South Coach of the Year (2017).

Since 2005, Landrum has coached 64 all-conference athletes at Frostburg between the AMCC and CAC. He has also coached 12 NFCA All-Region selections, two NFCA All-Americans, and two Capital One Academic All-Americans. Landrum has also coach five Rookie of the Years, two Players of the Year, and a Pitcher of the Year.

Instruction will focus primarily on hitting, specific position fielding, base-running, and game situations. In addition, pitchers will have the opportunity to work with pitching instructors. You can expect high demand on these first-come-first-serve camper spots, so please be sure to register early.

Softball field at Angelica Park

Softball Field at Angelica Park

The Alvernia University Softball team competes at the softball field at Angelica Park - a short walk from Alvernia's main campus. The Crusaders began play on their new field in April of 2009, with their 2010 season marking their first full season on the field.

The new facility features a brick press box, stone dugouts, backstop and right field wall, home and away bullpens, batting cages and an impressive scoreboard in left center field. Outfield fences sit six feet high 210 feet from home plate all the way around. With plenty of room for fans and the beautiful Angelica Park in the background, Alvernia's softball facility is one of the best in the region.

In 2016, the softball complex received its most recent upgrade, black backstop padding with the Alvernia name proudly written across the back.
Alvernia continues to be a top host site for the MAC Commonwealth Championships. Hosting in 2011 and 2014, the MAC Championships will be played in Angelica Park again in 2017.
