Angela Froboese

Angela Froboese was named as the first-ever Softball coach for the University of St. Thomas when she was hired in June 2019.


For the Celts inagural season in 2021, Froboese led the UST Softball program to a 20-11 overall record while going 15-5 in Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play. Under her guidance, six Celts earned all-conferece honors.


A native of Katy, Texas, Froboese is no stranger to building quality NCAA Division III programs from scratch. She was the first softball coach hired by Southwestern University, which began play in 2009. In her 11 seasons at the Georgetown, Texas campus, Froboese compiled a 270-176-1 record, and led the Pirates to two Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference tournament championships and two NCAA Regional Tournament appearances.


Froboese led Southwestern to a 19-16 record during the team's inaugural season in 2009. In 2010, she guided the Pirates to the first of their two tournament championships during her tenure; Southwestern went 33-13 during that second season.


In 2019, Froboese and Southwestern compiled a 35-6 record, the best mark in team history. During her tenure, Froboese was named the SCAC’s Coach of the Year five times, and Southwestern was ranked in the nation’s Top 25 multiple times.


Prior to arriving at Southwestern, Froboese spent four seasons as the head coach at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. She compiled an 85-65 record at Howard Payne, which included a program-best 28-12 record during the 2007 season. Howard Payne led the nation in doubles during Froboese’s first season as head coach.


During her four seasons in Brownwood, Froboese’s teams produced three All-West Region players, 27 All-American Southwest Conference players, and nine All-Americans as named by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association.


She earned her bachelor's degree (kinesiology) and master's degree (educational leadership) from Stephen F. Austin State University, where she played Division I softball for four seasons. At the conclusion of her collegiate career, Froboese set school career marks with 98 RBIs, 36 doubles, and 123 runs scored. She was named the Southland Conference’s Utility Player of the Year in 2001.

Bailey Tisdale

Bailey Tisdale returns to the University of St. Thomas as the Assistant Softball and Pitching Coach, rejoining with great enthusiasm. Having played for UST during the 2023 season under Coach Froboese, Tisdale is excited to now coach alongside her former mentor.


During the 2023 season, Tisdale played a pivotal role in leading the Celts to a remarkable 33-10 overall record and an 18-4 mark in the circle. She was instrumental in helping the team secure their first SCAC Championship. Her stellar performances earned her several accolades, including SCAC Pitcher of the Week (twice), 2nd Team All-Region, and 1st Team All-SCAC honors.


Before her time at UST, Tisdale competed at Texas Woman's University and Concordia University Texas. While at TWU, despite a shortened season due to COVID-19, she boasted a 2-0 pitching record, defeating No. 1-ranked defending national champions Augustana and No. 7-ranked Central Oklahoma. At Concordia, she continued to excel, earning NFCA All-West Region honors, ASC 2nd Team recognition, and ASC Academic All-Conference selection.
