Midland College announces the addition of Olivia "Liv" Garza as the new assistant
coach for the Lady Chaps softball team. Garza joins the program with a strong background
in collegiate softball, both as a player and a coach, bringing her passion and experience
to the Lady Chaps for the upcoming season.
Garza was most recently a member of the softball program at Coastal Bend College,
where she served as a part-time assistant coach. Originally from Pearsall, TX, Garza
was a standout athlete during her high school career. After graduating from Pearsall
High School, she played collegiately at Laredo Community College and the University
of Houston-Victoria. Garza earned her Bachelor of Education degree from UHV in 2024.
"I am beyond excited to join the Midland College Lady Chaps and help lead this talented
group of athletes," said Garza. "I’m looking forward to working with the team and
learning so much from Coach Castro, and I believe we have the skills and dedication
to make this a successful season."
Head Coach Angelica Castro expressed her enthusiasm for the new addition to the coaching
staff, saying, "Olivia brings a work ethic like I’ve rarely seen. Her passion for
and knowledge of the game, coupled with her playing and coaching experience and her
ability to connect with our players, make her a perfect fit for our program. I am
confident she will help us elevate our game on and off the field."
Midland College is thrilled to have Garza on board as the Lady Chaps prepare for an
exciting season ahead.
