HAMMOND, La. (AP) – Rick Fremin has been named head softball coach at Southeastern Louisiana University.

Director of Athletics Jay Artigues announced Fremin’s hiring Wednesday. He says the appointment still needs approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.

Fremin would replace Pete Langlois, who vacated the position last month after accepting the role of assistant to the athletic director for facilities and operations.

Fremin comes to Hammond after spending the previous five seasons at Jackson State, leading the Tigers to the last three Southwestern Athletic Conference East Division championships and a first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Prior to his time at Jackson State, Fremin spent five seasons at Belhaven University.
