Binghamton University announced the addition of two assistant coaches with area ties.  Jessica Bump, a 2014 BU grad and one of the school's all-time best softball players, has joined Michelle Burrell's staff after spending one season coaching at the University of Kentucky and another at Lafayette College.  Bump is a 2010 graduate of Windsor High School.  At BU she earned first-team American East all-conference honors twice and was an ECAC first-team all-star in 2013. Bump played for Burrell and now returns as her coach's top assistant.

Union-Endicott graduate Mike Folli joins baseball coach Tim Sinicki's staff after starring at the University at Buffalo and playing four years of professional baseball.  Following his career at UB Folli was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 42nd round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft.  He played 304 games in the Cardinals' organization including parts of two seasons at the Triple-A level with Memphis in the Pacific Coast League. Folli was a member of Union-Endicott's 2003 New York State Championship team.  That team was coached by his father Ed Folli, currently an assistant coach for Sinicki's Bearcats.
