College of Saint Benedict Athletics

College of Saint Benedict softball head coach Rachael Click announced the hiring of recent graduate Olivia Wallace as a full-time assistant coach Tuesday, July 28. Following a decorated career at CSB, Wallace moves into a role on the coaching staff where she will work primarily with the pitching staff. She officially begins Aug. 11. 

Wallace, who graduated this spring with a degree in biology, recently concluded a decorated career as a Bennie. The pitcher appeared in 79 games over her career, tossing a total of 321 innings and 23 complete games. She finished her career with a record of 29-18, including two shutouts, and added a pair of saves. Wallace tallied 175 strikeouts over her career while limiting opponents to a .291 batting average en route to a 3.14 career earned run average. 

 

Over her career, Wallace was twice named All-MIAC, earning the honor in 2025 and 2026, and was named the MIAC Pitcher of the Week once (March 3, 2025). The Maple Grove, Minn. native also reeled in numerous academic accolades after excelling in the classroom. She was a three-time National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-America Scholar Athlete (2023, 2024, 2025), a three-time Academic All-MIAC honoree (2024, 2025, 2026), twice named College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District (2025, 2026) and was inducted into the Chi Alpha Sigma Chapter in 2025.  

 

Wallace helped CSB make two NCAA postseason appearances, as the Bennies made the NCAA Regional Championship series in 2024 and 2026. With her help in the circle, Saint Benedict won the MIAC regular season championship twice (2024 and 2026) and claimed the program's first MIAC Playoff Championship in 2026.
