Michelle Schlichtig-Hastings begins her fourth season as an assistant on head coach Carl Taylor's staff after coming to University City in the summer of 2017. She serves alongside her husband, Ray.
The husband and wife duo came to Drexel from Rutgers-Camden, where Schlichtig-Hastings was the head coach for the last three seasons and Hastings served as her top assistant.
A two-time All-America pitcher who led the Scarlet Raptors to the NCAA Division III national championship as a senior in 2006, Schlichtig-Hastings returned to her alma mater in 2015 and immediately guided Rutgers-Camden to its best season since 2007. Rutgers-Camden earned New Jersey Athletic Conference playoff berths in her first two seasons at the helm of the team.
Prior to coaching at Rutgers-Camden, Schlichtig-Hastings served as the head varsity softball coach at Haddon Heights High School. She posted a 105-45 record in her six years as the Garnets’ head coach and led Haddon Heights to capture four Colonial Conference Championships (2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014), two South Jersey Championships (2012 and 2013) and win the New Jersey State Championship in 2013. That 2013 team earned her honors as the Courier-Post Softball Coach of the Year. For this as well as her performance as a high school athlete at Haddon Heights, Schlichtig-Hastings was inducted into the Camden County Sports Hall of Fame in 2016.
As a student-athlete at Rutgers-Camden, Schlichtig-Hastings compiled a stellar 82-17 record during her three years with the Scarlet Raptors. She set program career records for wins, ERA (0.75), innings (659), games (107), games started (94), complete games (84), strikeouts (906), opponent batting average (.146), shutouts (40) and saves (6). She also threw a record seven no-hitters, including a pair of perfect games.
Prior to playing at Rutgers-Camden, Schlichtig-Hastings attended Fordham University for one year on a full athletic scholarship. At Fordham, she earned the Atlantic-10 Rookie of the Year honor as well as being named First Team All-Atlantic-10 and First Team All Region.
Schlichtig-Hastings attended Haddon Heights High School and was a First Team All-State selection in 2001 and 2002. She also was selected First Team All-South Jersey from 2000-2002 and named Courier-Post Player of the Year in 2002.
Schlichtig-Hastings graduated from Rutgers University-Camden in 2010 with a Bachelor’s degree in sociology. She has been a Professional Fastpitch and All-Skills Instructor since 2006.
