Lea Wodach was promoted to Associate Head Coach of the ULM softball team in 2022, after being hired as the assistant coach in 2019.
In her collegiate career, Wodach started 194 career games at Oklahoma including 162 at catcher and helped the Sooners claim four-straight Big 12 regular-season championships and back-to-back Women’s College World Series National Championships in 2016 and 2017.
She spent the 2019 season working as a student assistant coach at OU under National Fastpitch Coaches Association Hall of Famer Patty Gasso, as the Sooners finished 57-6 while advancing to the WCWS championship series against UCLA.
A four-year letterwinner from 2015-18, Wodach helped the Sooners to a combined record of 224-31 (.878), including a 66-4 ledger (.943) in Big 12 games. She served as battery mate for four-time All-America pitcher Paige Parker. Her .992 career fielding percentage ranks third in OU history.
