After a decorated pitching career and a stint as a volunteer assistant coach, B rooke B oening will begin her second season as the Northwestern State pitching coach. Boening guided a pitching staff of two veteran arms and two newcomer arms to a staff ERA of 2.86 in 2019, the program’s first sub-3.00 ERA since she handled the NSU pitching staff in 2015 (2.96 ERA). E.C. Delafield made the All-Southland Conference team as a utility player. Boening has developed a reputation of turning around pitching staffs in her coaching career at NSU, Rhode Island and Southeastern. As a volunteer at NSU in 2015, Boening helped tutor an NSU pitching staff with a conference-low 1.19 ERA that featured both All-Southland Conference First Team pitcher Mikayla Brown (Pitcher of Year) and Micaela Bouvier (first-team all-conference). NSU’s ERA improved by more than three full points from 2014. Boening tutored Mikayla Brown for two of her seasons as she finished her career in top 10 in multiple categories, including the 2015 Pitcher of the Year. Fellow SLC First Teamer Micaela Bouvier also starred on that 2015 staff. Boening spent the 2018 season at Southeastern, where she helped the Lady Lions to its best record in 34 years. Senior Rachel Hayes made the All-Southland Conference Third Team as the catalyst behind an SLU staff that lowered its team ERA a full point to 2.99. In her first full-time gig at Rhode Island, Boening tutored two freshmen to the All-Atlantic 10 Rookie Team in her two seasons. Boening was an accomplished pitcher for the Lady Demons from 2010-13. The Floresville, Texas, native posted 28 career wins in four seasons including an 8-6 mark as a senior on a team that won the Southland Conference Tournament and reached the NCAA Tournament in 2013. Boening posted a 9-9 mark as a freshman in which she struck out a career-high 132 batters. She finished her career sixth in strikeouts with 384. Boening graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health and exercise science in 2013 with a master’s degree in sports administration in 2015.
