Crystal Rosenthal - Head Coach - 3rd Season
Head Coach
Looking to improve upon a very successful first two years at the Concordia Softball helm, Crystal Rosenthal is in her third year as head coach.
 
Rosenthal was promoted to her current post prior to the 2009 season after serving as an Eagles assistant coach for seven years.
 
Under Rosenthal's leadership, the Eagles immediately turned around a two-year trend where they finished with a record well under .500 in Golden State Athletic Conference play, as they tallied a 15-9 conference mark.
 
Rosenthal's Eagles followed up a 41-win season in 2009 with a 42-win campaign in 2010, leading her team to back-to-back NAIA National Championships appearances, where Concordia finished in pool play both seasons.
 
Before coaching at Concordia, Rosenthal spent time as the varsity assistant coach at Calvary Chapel High in Costa Mesa. She also served as head coach for the Irvine Cruisers for 10 years, leading up to 2008.
 
A four-year player at Concordia, Rosenthal was a team captain for two seasons. She ranks among the top ten in 15 categories for single-season and career marks. Rosenthal posted 151 hits, including 21 doubles and five triples and knocked in 81 runs.
 
She was inducted into the Concordia Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008 for her career performance on the diamond.
 
Rosenthal prepped at Valley Christian High School in Bellflower, earning All-CIF and All-State honors as a junior and senior. She was named to the All-Olympic League team all four seasons.
 
Rosenthal earned her bachelor's in history and political science from Concordia, graduating in 2000, and earned her master's in coaching and athletic administration from Concordia in 2006.
 
Rosenthal lives in Aliso Viejo.
