Brynn Baca is the new face of Tallahassee Community College Softball.
TCC's newest softball head coach had her first meet and greet on Thursday. Baca took on the role last month after former head coach Patti Townsend stepped down in April.
Townsend leaves behind 20 years of winning multiple district titles and being a runner up in the national tournament. However, Baca says she is ready for the challenge.
“TCC welcomes you with open arms," said Baca. "I’m just really happy to take what Coach Patti has built, ready to hit the ground running and just get started.”
Baca is a former standout player-turned-coach from Texas. She says while her players are expected to perform out on the field, she wants education to be everyone’s main focus.
“That’s why I think this opportunity is so awesome, said Baca. "Here we get to build off foundations and fundamentals— just learning how to be an adult after college.”
Baca announced she will be working on recruitment during the offseason, as only two players will be returning from last year’s team.
Last season the Eagles finished at the bottom of their conference at 22-20. The new season kicks off in the Spring of 2024.
