Liz Bouck-Jagielski was named the sixth head coach in program history on June 11, 2024, and will embark on her second season as the head coach at her alma mater during the 2025-26 school year.
In her inaugural season at the helm she led the Blue Demons to a 16-32 record, a seven-win increase from the previous season, notching her first win as head coach against Detroit Mercy on February 7, 2025.
Under her tutelage, Baylee Cosgrove was named to the All-BIG EAST second team, the first conference recognition of her career, and the Blue Demons improved their team batting average from .228 to .256.
Bouck-Jagielski, a former Blue Demon letterwinner from 2000-2003, and member of the DePaul Athletics Hall of Fame, returned to Lincoln Park after a career that included helping lead the Blue Demons to four NCAA Tournaments and the program’s second Women’s College World Series in 2000. Bouck-Jagielski earned second team All-American and Conference USA Player of the Year honors in 2002.
Following her playing career, Bouck-Jagielski served as an assistant coach for the Blue Demons from 2004-2011. During her time as an assistant, she helped DePaul return to the Women’s College World Series in 2005 and 2007, in addition to seven NCAA Tournament berths during her tenure. Bouck-Jagielski led the Blue Demon’s defensive efforts, helping the team record a season-best .986 fielding percentage in 2007.
The South Holland, Ill. native graduated from DePaul in 2004 and played professional softball for the Texas Thunder and Chicago Bandits during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Bouck-Jagielski’s sister, Tami, was also a member of the Blue Demons softball program from 1997-2000.
Bouck-Jagielski and her husband Jon reside in the south suburbs with their five children, Cassidy, Peyton, Sadie, Anna and Ava.
