Jackson, MS- Millsaps' head softball coach Roland Rodriguez has decided to step down after eight seasons.

In those eight seasons as the Majors' head coach, Rodriguez compiled a 194-192 overall record. He guided the Majors to four consecutive winning seasons including the 2013 Southern Athletic Association Tournament title.

"We are appreciative of the job Coach Rodriguez has done at Millsaps College the last eight seasons," Millsaps Athletic Director Josh Brooks said. "We have started a national search for his replacement. We think this job has tremendous potential and the future of Millsaps College Softball is extremely bright."

In the interim, current assistant coach and former Millsaps' standout softball player Caroline Thompson will assume head coaching responsibilities.  She can be reached at thompcm3@millsaps.edu.
