Tacy Riddle Duncan
Outstanding Athlete
Softball 1999-2002
Tacy Riddle Duncan arrived at the University of Mary by way of Sonora, CA, and Iowa State University. Following her transfer to U-Mary, with two years of eligibility remaining, this great left-handed pitcher immediately became a dominate force in DAC-10 and NAIA Region 3 softball competition.
Between 1999 and 2002, Tacy helped lead the Marauders to two DAC-10 titles, two Region 3 titles, and two appearances in the NAIA National Softball Championship Tournament. During the same two years, the Marauders logged 87 wins, 46 of which were credited to Tacy’s stellar pitching — a 46-7 career record. While playing for U-Mary, Tacy struck out 477 hitters and averaged 1.5 strikeouts per inning. Her earned run average was an amazing 1.6 and she also boasted a .342 batting average. Her pitching victories included triumphs over NAIA No. 1-ranked Oklahoma City University and No. 1-ranked NCAA Division II North Dakota State University.
Tacy’s “winning ways” earned her honors for both years including: All-DAC-10 Conference Selection, DAC-10 Pitcher of the Year, All NAIA Region 3 Selection, NAIA Region 3 Pitcher of the Year. She was also First Team NAIA All-American. Her last year at U-Mary, Tacy served as an assistant softball coach under Brad Walsh.
Graduating with a Bachelor of Science in physical and health education with minors in coaching and health education, Tacy went on to serve as a graduate assistant in softball at the University of Redlands, where she earned her master’s degree in educational counseling. She is currently head softball coach at NCAA Division II California State University in San Bernardino. Tacy and her husband Shannon, and their twin one-year-old daughters, Madison and Jordana, live in Riverside, CA. She is the daughter of Kim and Clint Riddle of Winnemucca, NV.
