Maddy Wright enters her first season with RMU in 2026.
Wright, a highly accomplished former NCAA Division I pitcher and two-way player, will primarily work with the team's pitching staff, bringing a wealth of high-level playing and coaching experience to Moon Township.
Wright joins the Colonials after a distinguished five-year NCAA Division I playing career, including stints in both Conference USA and Big XII competition. She began her collegiate journey at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where she pitched the 14th no-hitter in program history against UCONN.
During her time with the 49ers, she was named to the Conference USA All-Freshman Team and selected as Second-Team All-Conference USA in 2021, also earning Conference USA Pitcher of the Week honors.
Wright contributed significantly to UNC Charlotte's historic first NCAA Regional appearance in 2023.
She then transferred to Texas Tech University, where she completed her playing career as a starting pitcher for the 2024 season. At Texas Tech, she led the team in innings pitched, ERA, strikeouts, and opponent batting average, earning the team's "Pitcher of the Year" award.
Beyond her playing accolades, Wright served as a Graduate Assistant at Texas Tech University from August 2024 to the present. In this role, she supported the day-to-day operations of the softball program under Head Coach Gerry Glasco, assisting with pitcher and hitter development. Her experience includes working closely with the program's nationally ranked pitchers and contributing to Texas Tech's Big XII Regular Season Title, Big XII Tournament Championship, Regional and Super-Regional Titles, and their impressive National Runner-Up finish this past season.
Academically, Wright is expected to earn her Master of Arts in Communications from Texas Tech University in August 2025, having previously earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communications with a minor in American Studies from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in June of 2023.
