The University of Toledo will induct Cavalier head softball coach Cheryl Sprangel into its Varsity 'T' Hall of Fame Feb. 13, at The Pinnacle in Maumee, Ohio.
Sprangel, who is one of nine inductees, served as the Rockets' head coach for 14 years from 1984 to 1997, where she posted a 460-355-1 record. After taking over the club in its fifth year of existence, Sprangel transformed the losing program into a success story. She had winning records in 12 of her 14 seasons at Toledo and led the team to MAC championships in 1985, 1989 and 1992. She was also named MAC Coach of the Year each season her squad won the conference title. Her teams qualified for the NCAA tournament in 1989 and 1992 and advanced to the College Softball World Series in 1989.
In her six seasons at Virginia, Sprangel has posted a 234-157 overall record with a .598 winning percentage. Her career record of 694-512-1, places her at 19th for victories among current Division I softball coaches.
