Leah Glasgow was named Associate Director of Athletics for External Operations and Strategic Initiatives in the summer of 2023. She joined the St. Edward's Athletic Department as the head softball coach in September 2019, navigating the program through the pandemic and leading it to its first NCAA Regional since 2014 in the spring of 2023.
Prior to SEU, Glasgow was the head coach at Colorado School of Mines where she rebuilt the program into a competitor in the RMAC. The 2017 and 2019 RMAC Coach of the Year, Glasgow won 139 games over the last six years to make her the all-time winningest coach in program history. In 2019, Mines reached the RMAC Tournament for the fourth straight year on the back of a third straight winning season as balanced pitching and offense led them to 28 wins. The Orediggers were the RMAC's most improved defensive team as well, finishing with a .967 fielding percentage to rank second in the conference.
The 2017 season was one of the best in program history after Mines went 32-15 and advanced to the RMAC Tournament final. The young Oredigger squad had one of the league's best pitching rotations and was the RMAC's most improved defensive team as they made their second consecutive RMAC Tournament trip and finished second in the regular-season standings despite being picked eighth in the preseason coaches' poll. Mines' 32 wins were its most since 2013, and they also appeared in the NCAA regional rankings for the first time since that season.
Glasgow previously served as First Assistant Softball Coach at California State University, San Marcos from 2010 to 2013, where she oversaw the development of six All-Americans, two Conference Pitchers of the Year and 12 all-conference selections.
As the chief hitting instructor at Cal State San Marcos, Glasgow raised the team batting average from to .310 in 2011 to .358 in 2012 and increased RBI production from 290 to 388 over that span. Coinciding with the offensive output increase, the Cougars reached No. 4 in the national rankings in 2011, No. 3 in 2012 and No. 1 in the 2013 preseason.
After helping guide CSUSM to a school-record 55 wins and the A.I.I. Conference Championship, she was named to the NFCA/NAIA West Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 2012. The Cougars advanced to the NAIA Championships in each of her three seasons, finishing fourth in both 2011 and 2012.
Before joining the CSUSM staff, she was assistant coach at San Diego City College for two seasons as well as softball instructor at Rip City Academy and head coach of the 18U Power Surge Softball Club.
A native of Scotts Valley, Calif., Glasgow was a NAIA All-American at Dickinson State University in Dickinson, N.D. In 2006, she was named Dakota Athletic Conference 10 (DAC 10) Player of the Year and in 2007, en route to leading the Blue Hawks to the NAIA Elite Eight, garnered All-DAC 10 selection and Region III Most Valuable Player accolades. A recipient of the NAIA Champion of Character of Award, Glasgow was honored as the Dickinson State University Female Senior Athlete for the Class of 2007.
