SYDNEY O’HARA has rejoined the Syracuse University softball program as an assistant coach. O’Hara, a four-year letterwinner and All-American for the Orange during her college playing days, has returned to the Hill to work primarily with the Syracuse pitchers, But she will also assist in all aspects of the softball program. O’Hara spent the past three seasons on the sidelines as an assistant coach at Binghamton University, where she worked with the pitchers. She assisted in recruiting, team travel and meals, as well as organizing camps. Prior to Binghamton, O’Hara was an assistant coach at neighboring Le Moyne College from 2017-18, where she worked primarily with the Dolphins’ softball pitching staff and assisted in working with the hitters, recruiting, scouting opponents, scheduling games, and running team camps. O’Hara’s name is synonymous with Syracuse softball, and it is plastered across the Orange record book. She holds the career record for saves (12) and ranks in the top-10 in program history in 19 other career categories. O’Hara’s .476 batting average as a senior remains as the single-season record at Syracuse and her six saves that season and five in 2016 rank No. 1 and No. 2 in program history. She played for Syracuse from 2014-2017. Before that, O’Hara was a star player at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
