Terri McCormick
Assistant Coach
Head Coach Terri McCormick begins her 4th season at the helm of the University of Mobile softball program. In three years, her teams have produced an overall record of 108-41, highlighted by a 2ndplace finish at the 2008 NAIA National Championships. She is a 1997 graduate of the University of Mobile and became the softball program’s first three-time All-American. After playing volleyball at Mississippi College for two years, she transferred to play softball at UMobile in 1993. In 1996, McCormick was named GCAC Player of the Year. She earned both her bachelor’s degree in sports medicine and her master’s degree in education from UMobile. McCormick was an integral part of the development of the Spring Hill College program during the first three years. She helped lead the inaugural team to a Top 25 ranking in 1998 and a 3rd-place finish at nationals in 1999. The Satsuma, AL native is married to UMobile graduate Ken McCormick.
Beth Pilgrim begins her first season as the assistant softball coach at the University of Mobile. The Cantonment, FL, native comes to Mobile after playing four years for the University of South Alabama softball team. At Mobile, she will largely be responsible for working with pitchers and catchers, along with other day-to-day responsibilities. Pilgrim was a key cog in starting the USA softball program, having lettered in each of the program’s first four years of competition. During her career she went 53-48 with a 1.87 ERA in 596.7 innings of work. She also fanned 723 batters and threw 76 complete games. As a junior, she posted a 1.29 ERA in 221.2 innings of work and was named 2nd-Team All-Conference and became the first Lady Jag to make the AllTournament Team. She was also named the 2009-10 Female Athlete of the Year and was the 2010 NCAA Woman of the Year Nominee for South Alabama.

At Mobile, he will oversee all aspects involved in the team’s hitting and serve as 1st base coach during games. The Satsuma native has amassed coaching experience at the high school and summer ball level. Serving as an assistant on the staffs of Holy Spirit HS and American Christian Academy, Darawich helped lead both programs to the State Tournament and both teams won 25-plus contests. Darawich also served as head coach of the Tuscaloosa Tide 95 summer ball team and led the squad to a 5th place finish at the USFA World Series.
