Bree Nasti Joins Softball Staff as an Assistant Coach

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Newly appointed Providence College softball Head Coach Jill Karwoski announced today [Aug. 14] that Bree Nasti will join her staff as an assistant coach.  Nasti spent the previous six seasons as head coach of the softball program at Adelphi University.

"I am beyond excited to have the opportunity to bring Bree to Friartown," Karwoski said. "Proven in her track record of athletic successes on the field and her commitment to academic success, I am confident she will be a positive influence and make an immediate impact in our program."

Nasti guided Adelphi to the Northeast-10 Tournament Championship in three of her six seasons, including each of the last two years (2013, 2017, 2018). Her squad also captured five NE-10 Regular-Season Southwest Division titles (2013, 2015-2018) and made six-straight NCAA Division II Regional Appearances (2013-2018), four NCAA Division II Super Regional appearances (2013, 2015-2017) and advanced to the NCAA Division II Women's College World Series on two occasions (2015, 2016).  Nasti and her staff were recognized as NFCA East Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 2013, 2015 and 2016.

Nasti's teams also competed well in the classroom, having secured the top-ranked team grade-point average in the nation among all NCAA Division II institutions in back-to-back seasons (2014-2015).  Her program also earned the NE-10 Conference Team Academic Excellence Award in five of her six seasons at Adelphi.

In addition to coaching, she participated on the NFCA Division II Top-25 Committee and served as the Northeast-10 Coaches Connection representative. Nasti also served as a Division II representative on the NFCA Coaching Education Committee and contributed as a writer to the NFCA Fastpitch Delivery Newsletter.

Prior to her arrival at Adelphi, Nasti spent four years at Stony Brook University as a hitting instructor and outfield coach.  She also previously worked as an assistant coach at St. John's and Hofstra.

A 2004 graduate of SUNY Buffalo with a degree in psychology, Nasti was a four-year letter-winner, a three-time All-Region honoree and three-time All-Mid-American Conference selection. Nasti left Buffalo as the all-time leader in batting average (.387), home runs (27), RBI (113), hits (197), doubles (46), triples (7), runs (93) and walks (66). In 2002, she set the SUNY Buffalo and MAC single-season record with a .451 batting average. Nasti also excelled in the classroom, earning Academic All-District I from 2002-2004, Academic All-MAC in 2003 and the SUNY Chancellor's Award in 2004. She was also a three-time UB Scholar-Athlete.

A native of Baldwin, N.Y., Nasti earned her master's degree from Fresno State and was a three-time high school All-American. She holds the single season national high school record with a .774 batting average.
