Tailee Reding joined the Hillcats as an assistant coach in September 2022.
Reding is no stranger to the Hillcats as she wrapped up one of the most successful careers in RSU Softball history in 2022. The Kansas, Okla. native was a driving force that led RSU to their first ever National Championship and first MIAA Tournament Championship as well as the 2018 Heartland Conference Tournament Championship.
After five years on the Hill as a player, Reding holds the school record for most games played (250), most starts (227), most at-bats (658), and most triples (6). She also ranks in the top 10 in several other career categories including second in hits (171), second in doubles (28), second in walks (99), third in home runs (17), fourth in stolen bases (16) and fourth in RBI (90).
Reding earned her fair share of accolades during her time in the Red and Navy. She was a 2018 Second Team All-Heartland Conference selection and made the 2021 MIAA All-Tournament Team.
She earned her bachelor's degree in sports management from RSU in 2021.
