Bree Ferchen completed her first season as the head softball coach at Plattsburgh State in 2020. She previously served as an assistant coach with the Cardinals in 2019.
In 2020, Plattsburgh State's season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ferchen made an immediate impact as an assistant coach in 2019, as the Cardinals nearly qualified for the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) Tournament and split a pair of one-run games with eventual NCAA Division III Tournament participant SUNY Geneseo. Two student-athletes earned All-SUNYAC honors, while Jennifer Groat earned the 2018-19 SUNYAC Dr. Dolores Bogard Award and was named the 2019 SUNYAC Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year and 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-America.
Prior to Plattsburgh State, Ferchen assisted with SUNY Cortland's softball program during the 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic years, helping the Red Dragons win a SUNYAC championship and an NCAA Division III Regional title in 2017. Her duties included working with the outfielders, preparing fitness circuits during practice, scouting and recruiting prospective student-athletes, scouting opponents, working with slap hitters and overseeing the bat lists and bat checks throughout the season.
As an undergraduate student-athlete, Ferchen competed at The College at Brockport from 2012-15. She authored a .343 career batting average, going 144-for-420 at the plate, in addition to collecting 12 doubles, four triples, 46 RBI and 71 stolen bases throughout the course of her career. Ferchen set career program records in stolen bases and stolen-base attempts, and she earned All-SUNYAC honors in both 2013 and 2014. She was named a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Scholar-Athlete in 2012 and was a SUNYAC All-Tournament Team selection in 2014.
Ferchen earned her Bachelor of Science in kinesiology and exercise physiology from Brockport in 2015 and her Master of Science in exercise science from Cortland in 2018.
