I’m excited to announce my commitment to Canisus University where I will continue my academic & athletic careers. I’m grateful to all of the coaches & my parents that have helped me reach my goal of playing D1 softball.
Thank you to Coach Gierlak for giving me this opportunity!

Great to hear from former Wilmington softball great Abby Sotter last week. Abby is in her first season as the Canisius softball pitching coach. Sotter joined head coach Joe Gierlak's staff in the fall of 2025.
A native of New Wilmington, Pa., Sotter started her collegiate coaching career at Edinboro, where she served as a graduate assistant from 2017-19 on the Fighting Scots' softball staff under long-time Edinboro head coach, Dan Gierlak, Joe's father. Prior to joining the coaching ranks, Sotter was a pitcher on the Edinboro staff from 2013-17.
In addition to her coaching duties at Canisius, Sotter currently serves as an undergraduate admission counselor at the University as well.
Abby was a member of the 2010 Wilmington D10 Championship team as well!
