[Softball] Whittaker steps down from coaching post

Shawnee State head coach Steve Whittaker will step down from his head coaching post inside the Bears' softball program, as announced by Whittaker Friday.

In five seasons as the head coach at Shawnee State, the 53-year old from McDermott went 92-106 with the Bears. However, after going 11-35 in his first year, Whittaker improved the SSU softball program to the point where Shawnee State finished at or above .500 in each of his last four years at the helm. The Bears went 81-71 overall from the 2017 to 2020 campaigns.
