Brad Marshall, who last coached with the team for the 2023 season, rejoins the staff for the 2025 season.
Most recently, Marshall coached with the Plattsburgh State softball program in 2023, one of the most successful seasons for the program in the last decade after also coaching with the program in 2016. The bulk of his collegiate coaching experience comes from working at SUNY Potsdam from 2019 to 2021, where he worked as the assistant coach there, collaboratively coaching with the head coach to develop players for collegiate play and helping with the recruitment and identification of future student-athletes.
Marshall also has over a decade of experience coaching at the travel ball level, as he was head coach and assistant for the Adirondack Diamonds Jr. Olympic Fastpitch Softball Elite Travel Team as well as the Malone Girls Softball Travel Team. He worked for over 25 years as a correctional officer for New York State, retiring in 2014 after starting in 1989.
Outside of his coaching career, Marshall has ties to Plattsburgh State through his two daughters, Ashley and Brittany, who each were student-athletes at Plattsburgh. Ashley was one of the greatest pitchers in Cardinal history, leading the team in the circle to their second College World Series appearance in 2012 while also earning conference pitcher of the year honors in both 2012 and 2013. Brittany played for both the softball and basketball teams at Plattsburgh from 2012-2015, where she was an all-conference level player for both teams.
Marshall earned his associate degree in business management from North Country Community College in 1985.
