Jamie Stanclift was named the head softball coach in July 2019. She enters her fifth season as the head softball coach in 2024. She is 119-63 through her first four seasons with the Bulldogs, with a 51-23 record in league play. Stanclift joined the Wingate coaching staff after a successful career at Baker University. She is 299-198 in her head coaching career.

In 2023, Stanclift earned her first SAC Coach of the Year award after she led the Bulldogs to a program-record 48 wins and the first outright regular season conference title since 2009. It is the third time in program history the Bulldogs have hit the 40-win mark in the season. The 2023 season also featured the first time the Bulldogs advanced to the NCAA Southeast Super Regional after hosting and winning the opening round of the regionals. The 2023 Bulldogs set program records in home runs (77) and wins at home (31).

In her first season as head coach in 2020, the Bulldogs went 13-9 in the shortened year, with a 2-0 record in league play before the season was cut short in March due to COVID. Stanclift was named the head coach at Baker University in 2014 after spending one year as Baker's Graduate Assistant Coach. As the head coach, Stanclift has guided the Wildcats to back-to-back seasons with over 40 wins. Stanclift led Baker to the first NAIA National Tournament in program history in 2018, while the Wildcats were ranked as high as 12th nationally during the 2019 season, finishing the year 49-7 overall while winning the Heart of America Athletic Conference regular season and tournament champions. "I feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity to lead the Wingate University softball program forward to continued success," Stanclift says. "From the moment I stepped on campus and visited with administration I could feel what a special place Wingate is. I thank Steve Poston and Michelle Caddigan and the entire hiring committee for their time spent getting to know me and allowing my passion for the game be shared. Their commitment to excellence in the entire student-athlete experience matches my own and I am excited to put my stamp on the culture of the Bulldog softball program."

Chaley Sims joined the Wingate University coaching staff as the Assistant Coach in the summer of 2019. She comes to Wingate after spending a year as the Graduate Assistant Coach at Baker University for current Wingate head coach Jamie Stanclift. Sims was a four-year letter-winner at Kansas University from 2012-2016. Following her playing career, she spent a season as a Student Assistant Coach and a year as the Volunteer Assistant Coach for the Jayhawks, serving as the Interim Assistant Coach in the summer of 2018 before taking the job at Baker. She also spent time serving as the Director of Operations at Kansas. At Baker, Sims helped guide the team to a regular season and conference tournament title in 2019. The Wildcats earned a bid to the NAIA Tournament and ranked fifth nationally in fielding percentage. Baker also led the league in batting average. Brickey had numerous responsibilities in her year at Baker, including organizing and implementing drills, field prep, cutting film for scouting and evaluations with players, and running individual offenses. She also started the Kiddie Cat Club, a mentoring program between athletes and the community. During her playing career at Kansas, Brickey was a four-time all-conference selection, while earning NFCA All-Region accolades in each of her final three seasons. She earned first-team All-Big 12 and All-Region honors as a sophomore and a senior at Kansas. Sims was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2015 and 2016. She holds the school record for slugging percentage, runs scored, RBI, and walks. After her successful collegiate playing career, Brickey was the 16th overall pick in the National Professional Fastpitch draft in 2016. She played a season with the Pennsylvania Rebellion, helping the team register its winningest season in program history. Sims earned her Bachelor of Science from Kansas in May of 2017. She is currently pursuing her Master of Arts in Sport Management from Wingate University.
