Rachael McMahon is in her second season serving as an assistant coach of the New York University softball team. Her primary responsibilities are coaching first base and working with the Violets' infielders.
McMahon helped the Violets compile a 12-24 record in their first-ever varsity season. NYU won its first game on March 22 at home against Brooklyn College. The freshman-heavy roster competed well all season long, showing signs of a bright future by finishing the season 12-10 and winning four of its final five games.
Individually, several players earned recognition for their on-field play. Junior Kahala Bonsignore led the team in the field at shortstop and hit well at the plate, earning First Team All-UAA (University Athletic Association) honors for her play. Freshman pitcher Sage Scheiwiller paced the Violets in the circle and pitched two no-hitters, earning Second Team All-UAA honors.
McMahon graduated from Pace University in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications, and is now pursuing a graduate degree at Pace.
A four-year starter on the Pace Setters' softball team, McMahon was the team's primary third baseman. As a junior, she tied for third on the team in batting average (.292).
During her playing career, McMahon also worked as a student assistant at the Pace University Athletic Media Relations/Communications department.
A native of Corona, CA, McMahon resides in White Plains, NY.
