In her first three full seasons as the head coach, Angela Stackhouse has built the Pennsylvania College of Technology softball program into a United East Conference powerhouse.
A 19-5 first season in 2021 produced a conference championship and the program’s first trip to the NCAA Division III playoffs. That was followed by regular-season championships with a 28-9 mark in 2022 and a 31-10 record last year. The Wildcats were second in the ’22 UE playoffs and third a year ago, although they went on to claim their first Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship and its 31 wins was a program single-season record.
What to expect this season? With a solid pitching staff and what Stackhouse says is one of her most athletic and versatile teams, in all likelihood, more of the same.

MoreHARRISBURG – House Republican Leader Bryan Cutler (R-Lancaster) announced Wednesday he plans to introduce legislation to expand access to donated prescription drugs in Pennsylvania.
Currently, Pennsylvania’s Cancer Drug Repository Program only allows healthcare facilities and physicians’ offices to donate unused cancer medications to pharmacies participating in the repository program. The program is overseen by the State Board of Pharmacy and, currently, only two pharmacies are enrolled to receive donated prescription drugs as part of the program.
The legislation, first introduced by Cutler in 2018, would expand the current Cancer Drug Repository Program to allow both healthcare facilities and individuals to donate prescription drugs (other than cancer drugs) to the program.
