CHICAGO – DePaul head coach Tracie Adix-Zins announced today that Natalie Halvorson has joined the program after playing her freshman season at Kirkwood Community College. Halvorson was a second team NFCA All-American in NJCAA Division II and will have three seasons of eligibility with the Blue Demons.

Halvorson went 26-9 in the circle with a 2.51 ERA in 2018. The Ely, Iowa native appeared in 38 games with 32 starts for head coach Joe Yegge who is now the associate head coach at DePaul. Her 26 victories led the team as the Eagles finished the season with a 49-13 record and ranked No. 5 in the country.

Adix-Zins – an All-American pitcher at DePaul – returns to Lincoln Park to lead the softball program starting with the 2019 season. Following her standout career in the circle for the Blue Demons she served as an assistant coach at Wisconsin, Oklahoma State and North Carolina State before returning to DePaul as head coach in July.
