Metcalf comes to the Quakers’ coaching staff by way of the City 6 and Drexel.

"We are also excited to welcome Devon Metcalf to our staff,” head coach Leslie King said. “She had a great career at Drexel and brings a lot of insight into what makes a Division I athlete tick. Devon will be working primarily with the outfielders and hitters."

Metcalf was a member of the Dragons’ softball program from 2008-12, where she played mainly third base and shortstop. There she made her name with speed, ranking in the top three on her team in stolen bases all four years, and leading the team her senior year. She was also named Colonial Athletic Association Rookie of the Week in March of 2009.

Aside from playing, she also served as a coach on many different occasions. Most recently, she took part in the University of Pennsylvania Softball Camp where she assisted King with infield mechanics and bunting. She also assisted with the Philadelphia Softball SuperClinic and the Drexel University Skills Clinics. In addition, she was an assistant coach for the Vienna Shamrocks 14 and under softball team, a local team near her hometown of Manassas, Va.

"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to work with the Penn softball program,” Metcalf said. “Not only is Penn a superb academic school, but also boasts a great athletic program. The team made it to the Ivy League Championship Series last year, and I am looking forward taking the next step this upcoming season."

Metcalf graduated from Drexel in 2012 with a degree in elementary education. She was a member of the Dean’s List and was also honored as an NFCA Scholar-Athlete. She is originally from Manassas, Va.
