Chicago, Ill. - UIC Director of Athletics Jim Schmidt announced on Wednesday, May 14 that he has accepted the resignations of co-head softball coaches Tom Gray and Sarah O'Malley-Fisher.

"I want to thank Coach Gray and Coach O'Malley-Fisher for their dedication to UIC," said Schmidt. "They will always be a part of our successful softball history."
