EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Evansville Director of Athletics Dr. Kenneth "Ziggy" Siegfried announced a change of leadership of the Purple Aces softball program as the contract of head coach Mat Mundell will not be renewed.
 
"I want to thank Coach Mundell for his dedication to the University of Evansville and our student-athletes," Siegfried stated.  "This decision did not come easy as Coach Mundell represented our program and university with a great deal of class and integrity for his entire 11-year tenure."
 
"However, following a complete evaluation of our program, I determined that a leadership change was necessary for our softball program to take the next step forward," Siegfried added.
