RCGC Softball Coach Celebrates 700th Win

Another out-of-the-park homerun for Rowan College at Gloucester County (RCGC) Softball Coach Steve DePasquale who won his 700th game on March 11 when the Roadrunners blanked Northland Community College (MN) 15-0 in five innings at Chain of Lakes Park in Titusville, Florida.

Now starting his 24th season at the Roadrunners’ helm, DePasquale, of Williamstown, earned the landmark milestone on his second attempt of the season following an early-morning 6-5 loss to Anoka Ramsey CC (MN) in the season opener. A member of both the RCGC Roadrunner Hall of Fame and the Gloucester County Sports Hall of Fame, DePasquale’s Roadrunner teams have captured NJCAA Region XIX titles in 2007, 2011, 2012, 2016 and 2017.

“In 24 years, this means so much to me personally thanks to all of the great players, teams and coaches I have been blessed to have by my side,” said DePasquale. “The support that I have received from our administration at RCGC has helped to make this day possible.”

“This is more than impressive,” commented RCGC Executive Director of Athletics Brian Rowan. “Coach DePasquale's passion for the program and record of success speaks volumes about him as a person and his players have always played hard for him. He is not only a coach, but a leader and mentor for all of us in Roadrunner athletics.”
