Utah Announces Contract Extension for Amy Hogue

SALT LAKE CITY - Utah softball head coach Amy Hogue has signed a contract extension through the 2019 season, Utah Senior Associate Athletics Director Nona Richardson announced today.
"We are excited that we have been able to extend Coach Hogue's contract and that she will be leading our softball program in the future," Richardson said. "This past season was a tipping point for us and Coach Hogue. Her staff and the team stepped up to the plate and delivered. It is never easy to repeat your successes, but we believe Coach Hogue and Utah softball are ready for each challenge bestowed upon them."
Hogue, who just completed her eighth season at the helm, led the Utes to a 36-19 overall record in 2015 and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Utah had a successful Pac-12 season, earning series victories over Stanford, Oregon State and No. 22 Arizona State on the road and No. 16 Cal and No. 15 Arizona at home. The Utes also split with No. 20 Washington giving them victories in six of their eight conference matchups.
Hogue, the 2015 Pac-12 Coach of the Year, became the first Utah coach to win postseason honors since Mona Stevens was given the award in 2000 when the softball program was still a member of the Mountain West Conference. Recently, she was given the Don Reddish Award for the 2014-15 season. This award from the university of Utah athletic department is presented annually to the coach of a sport other than football, men's and women's basketball and gymnastics, who is deemed to have had the most successful season the previous year.
"I am honored to serve as the softball coach at the University of Utah," Hogue added. "This is a great university and I feel so privileged and blessed to be able to mentor these young women in our program. I want to thank Mary Bowman for choosing me eight years ago to lead this team, and Nona Richardson and Dr. Hill for trusting me to continue to guide this group through the 2019 season. The history of this program runs deep and as we approach our 40th season this year, I want to thank those coaches and administrators who came before me, for their hard work and dedication to Utah softball. You laid the foundation for a great program and I hope we continue to make all of you proud. Go Utes!"
This past season Utah had six all-conference selections, a new standard for the program, and also had two players named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman squad. Utah had five all-conference selections in 2012 and 2013, followed by three honorees in 2014.
Utah also had six players named to Pac-12 All-Academic team this past season, another new benchmark. It was the best scholastic performance for the program since it placed eight players on the Mountain West Conference All-Academic Team in 2008.
