Coach House is the third head coach in Weber State softball history.
Kristin Delahoussaye has officially been named the head coach of Weber State softball. She becomes the third head coach in the modern era of Wildcat softball.Â
"To say that I am grateful is an understatement. I have been mentored and supported by so many people here at Weber State over the past few years and now they have provided me with the opportunity to make one of my dreams come true," said Delahoussaye.Â
"The support of our administration and the Ogden community both athletically and academically is unmatched and continually allows our softball program to pursue and achieve excellence. Our roster is stacked with talented athletes who are also amazing young women and great ambassadors of Weber State. I am excited to get started and show just how Great, Great, Great Weber State is."
During her tenure at Weber State, Delahoussaye has been vital in the recruitment and development of players. She has coached three All-Americans, 12 NFCA All-Region players, five conference Players of the Year, three conference Freshman of the Year, and two conference Defensive Players of the Year.
In 2022, "Coach House" helped oversee the pitching, hitting, and recruiting of what was the best team in Big Sky Conference history. The '22 Wildcats tied a school record for most wins in a season (38) and head coach Mary Kay Amicone was the unanimous selection for Big Sky Conference Coach of the Year. The Wildcats won the regular season Big Sky Conference Championship, and had a historic run through conference tournament play in which WSU didn't surrender a single run and won all three games in run-rule fashion. The 2022 Weber State team was the first squad in Big Sky history to receive a three seed in the NCAA regionals.
In April 2020, she was promoted to Associate Head Coach under Mary Kay Amicone.
Delahoussaye came to Weber State after coaching at Brigham Young University for four seasons, helping lead the Cougars to four straight West Coast Conference championships and to four straight NCAA Regionals appearances. At BYU, her primary responsibility was working with the Cougars' outfielders, and the team never had a fielding percentage below .955.
Prior to becoming an assistant at BYU, Delahoussaye spent a season at Dixie State in 2013 as an assistant softball coach and strength coordinator for the Trailblazers.
Delahoussaye was a four-year starter at second base for the Cougars from 2008-2011, earning First Team All-Conference and All-Region honors three times. She finished her career ranked in the top 10 in 11 different career categories for the Cougars. She was also a starter and key contributor on BYU's first and only team to make it to the NCAA Super Regional.Â
Originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, Delahoussaye graduated from BYU in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in Exercise and Wellness, and graduated in 2022 from Southern New Hampshire University with a master's degree in Sports Management and a certificate in Athletic Administration.
"Coach Delahoussaye's dedication to our student-athletes and her exceptional history make her the ideal candidate for our next head coach," said Weber State Director of Athletics Tim Crompton. "We are confident she will continue to build upon the program's strong foundation and lead the team to even greater success."
