Head Coach Lee Mast
Lee Mast begins his second season as head coach of the Maple Leafs in 2010 after spending the last four years as the head of the Goshen High School program. In his first season at the helm, Mast led the Maple Leafs to the most wins (11) since the 2003 season.
While at Goshen High School, Mast took over a struggling softball program, which had not reached twelve wins in well over a decade. Mast led the Redskins to a 12-15 record in 2008, including 5-9 in the Northern Lakes Conference. Their 12 wins – a total the Redskins reached twice in Mast’s four-year tenure – is one win short of the single-season school record.
“This opportunity (to coach at Goshen College) was not something I was looking for, but it is a nice challenge,” said Mast. “I love building programs up. The excitement is definitely there to build on and get the program back up and running in the right direction.”
Before his four-year stint at the helm of the Redskin softball program, Mast held various other coaching positions at the local high school, including junior varsity softball, junior varsity baseball, and freshman basketball. He has also coached basketball and softball, been a youth sponsor and director, and the district athletic director for Brenneman Missionary Church in Goshen.
After the fall season, Mast joined the Maple Leaf women’s basketball coaching staff as an assistant. He is the sixth head coach in the 15-year history of the Maple Leaf softball program.
“My goal is to have consistency with 18 players every season,” said Mast. “There is a lot of local talent within a 50-100 mile radius that gets looked over. They have the ability to play at this level while getting an outstanding education.”
