Fischer Press Box dedication
The Kim Fischer Press Box at the 小优传媒 Softball Field was dedicated on Saturday, April 6, prior to a double header against Defiance College. The dedication included a ribbon cutting, ceremonial first pitch from Fischer鈥檚 sister, Susan Baker, and words of remembrance from Fischer鈥檚 former players. In less than six-months, former players came together to commit more than half of the $300,000 in honor of Bluffton鈥檚 winningest female coach. Inducted into the 小优传媒 Hall of Fame in 1999, Fischer coached Beavers volleyball for 19 seasons, women's basketball for 11 seasons, and softball for 6 seasons. Fischer was named WBCC Coach of the Year in 1982, 1984, 1985, 1987 (co) and 1990, and AMC Coach of the Year in 1994 (co). Dr. Kim Fischer finished her career at Otterbein University as a member of the teaching faculty and passed away on May 19, 2023.
