Appalachian State has parted ways with head coach Shelly Hoerner.

Hoerner spent seven years as the Mountaineers’ head coach and held a 161-172 overall record during her tenure, with a 44-100 mark in Sun Belt conference play.

“I want to thank Shelly for all she has done for our softball program over the past seven years,” athletic director Doug Gillin said in a statement. “Our vision for App State Softball is to annually compete for a conference championship and an NCAA Regional appearance. We will conduct a national search to find the best leader to accomplish that vision.”

Prior to taking over at App State, Hoerner spent four years as head coach at Georgia Tech. Her resume also includes head coaching stints at College of Charleston, Barry, and Valdosta State. While at College of Charleston, she was the SoCon Coach of the Year in 2007.
