Aleima Lopez enters her first year as an assistant coach for the Friars.
Â
Lopez was a four-year starter with FIU and was named First Team All-Conference in 2016. She has played professional softball for the globally ranked 3rd Puerto Rico National Team since 2006 and helped her team win the gold medal at the 2018 Central American Games as well as the bronze at the Pan-American Games in 2019.
Â
Lopez joins the Friars after two seasons at Bryant University, where she helped the Bulldogs make their first America East Championship appearance in program history during the 2025 season. In her first season at Bryant as an assistant coach in 2024, Lopez worked with all facets of the game and helped lead Bryant to a record breaking 34-17 season, finishing 3rd in conference with a 14-7 record after being voted last in the America East Preseason Poll. That year, she saw one All-America East Second Team selection and one America East All-Rookie team honoree.
Â
Prior to Bryant, Lopez served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Florida International University, for three seasons (2021-23). During her tenure, she helped the Panthers raise their team batting average from .220 to .280 as well as secure a conference tournament berth for the first time in five years. Lopez has also spent time as the head coach of the Sarasota Circus in the FGCL Summer Collegiate League (2020-22), also serving as an assistant coach at the Ole Miss (2020-21) and UTSA (2018-20) coaching staffs.

A native of Deltona, Fla., Lopez earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from FIU in 2016.
