Greg Cary

Brooklyn College Director of Athletics, Recreation, and Intramurals, Bruce Filosa, recently announced the hiring of Greg Cary as BC Softball’s new head coach. 
 
““We are happy to announce the hiring of Greg Cary as the new Head Coach of our softball program,” Filosa would comment on BC’s addition to the staff.  “Greg has a great amount of head coaching experience already and his network within the sport will be invaluable to the growth and success of the program.”

Coach Cary arrives on the on the Bedford Avenue campus with an abundance of experience at every competitive level of softball, most recently serving as a volunteer assistant coach at Division I Manhattan College.  Last season, he served as an assistant at Alderson Broaddus University.
 
No stranger to being at the helm of a program, Cary was the head softball coach at Monroe College, a NJCAA Division II program, for the 2014 and 2015 seasons.  He would help completely turn the program around upon his arrival, leading the team to a 22-17 record in 2014, a vast improvement from the 2013 team’s 12-28 mark.  His 2015 squad also enjoyed a winning season, finishing with a 17-12 record.  
 
Prior to his head coaching stint at Monroe, Cary served as an assistant coach on the softball staff at his alma mater, Purchase College.  While coaching at Purchase for two seasons, the teams would have a substantial win percentage improvement from the previous season. 
 
A student-athlete himself, Cary played basketball and baseball at Corning Community College.  After graduating with his associate’s degree, he returned to the Western New York school as an assistant coach for the softball team. 
 
In addition to his college coaching experience, Coach Cary has an abundance of clinics and travel ball coaching to add to his resume.  He also coached high school baseball for three years when first entering the profession.
