Trice Named Varsity Softball Coach

Karin Trice will coach the Saints softball team, replacing Tara DiGiacomo who stepped down to focus on her role as St. Catherine's Aquatics Director.
St. Catherine’s School announced that Karin Trice will serve as the new Varsity Softball Coach.

Trice was a shortstop at the University of Georgia before working at Bishop O’Connell (Va.) for 17 years as an assistant coach under coaching legend Tommy Orndorff. She helped lead the team to a 429-51 record,16 VISAA state titles and 13 WCAC league championship titles. She spent the 2019 season as an assistant coach with the St. Catherine’s softball program.

"I am excited for the opportunity to be the head softball coach at St. Catherine's,” Trice said. “I hope to bring what I learned from coaching O'Connell and build new traditions for the St. Catherine's program."

The Saints ended the 2019 season with an 8-9 record, including a five-game winning streak to end the regular season before losing to powerhouse Potomac in the state tournament. 

Trice replaces Tara DiGiacomo, who stepped down after 20 seasons of leading the Saints in order to focus on her role as the Aquatics Director at St. Catherine's. DiGiacomo was instrumental in moving the Saints to the fastpitch game. She won two LIS titles and helped start the Strikeout Cancer Tournament in conjunction with Collegiate School. DiGiacomo continues to oversee the Physical Education curriculum for swimming and will now also focus more time on developing the Saints Swim Clinics in the fall and spring.
