KALAMAZOO, Mich. – Western Michigan softball and head coach Jenny Rohn have announced the addition of former Bronco Reily Galloway to the program's staff as a volunteer assistant coach.
 
"I am overjoyed to welcome Reily to the WMU softball staff," Coach Rohn said. "Reily is a very professional, selfless person, and I am excited to watch her grow into her role as a coach. Not only did she have an amazing career at WMU, but she now has the ability to give back to the program. I cannot wait to work with Reily and see the gains we can make in the pitching circle!"
 
Galloway concluded her stellar five-year playing career at Western Michigan this past spring, as she posted a 2.79 ERA, 22 complete games, 14 wins, nine shutouts and a single-season program record 267 strikeouts. She also added a .275 batting average, seven doubles, eight home runs and 27 RBIs at the plate on the way to a First Team All-MAC selection. She took home a pair of MAC Pitcher of the Week awards and tossed the fourth perfect game in WMU history on April 23 against Central Michigan.
 
A native of LaPorte, Ind., Galloway finished her career at Western Michigan with a total of 445 strikeouts, which ranks as the third-highest career total in program history. In addition to her on-field excellence, she was also a three-time Academic All-MAC selection and an NFCA All-American Scholar Athlete.
 
Galloway has a great deal of experience in coaching as well, having participated in numerous WMU softball camps and clinics as both a coach and pitching instructor. After Western Michigan's season concluded back in May, she went back to her home state of Indiana and pitched live batting practice to the Notre Dame softball program to help aid in its preparation for the NCAA Regional.
