The University of South Carolina Beaufort will soon be searching for a new softball coach.
Bailey Wigness, who led the Sand Sharks for three seasons, has been named the new head coach Gardner-Webb University.
Wigness won 78 games while at USCB. She would lead the the Sand Sharks to a 40-13 record, conference tournament title and a berth in the NAIA National Tournament in her first season.
The Sand Sharks won 25 games during the 2021 season.

Prior to taking over as head coach at USC Beaufort, Wigness served as an assistant coach for three seasons at Boise State University.
Wigness played at national power Arizona State University, three times earning All-Pac 12 honors and leading the Sun Devils to the 2011 National Championship. She finished her career with a spectacular .371 batting average, stole 40 bases and scored 130 runs.
