Stony Brook Softball Hall of Famer Allie Brewster ’15 Returns as Associate Head Coach & Recruiting Coordinator

STONY BROOK, N.Y. – Stony Brook softball head coach Megan T. Bryant announced the return of Seawolves Hall of Famer Allie Brewster (Cukrov) ’15 to Long Island as the program’s new associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.

“I am incredibly excited and proud to welcome Allie Brewster to our softball staff as our associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. Allie will be an exceptional leader for our pitching staff and a true mentor to our student-athletes,” Bryant said. “Her success in recruiting and developing outstanding pitchers and players speaks for itself. Allie values the unique ability we have here at Stony Brook University to offer players the very best of both academic and athletic opportunities. She knows the type of student-athletes who will find success at Stony Brook, because she was that student-athlete here. Allie’s drive to be the best and her competitive nature made those around her better and provided the leadership that championship teams thrive on.”

As part of her role as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator, Brewster will lead the pitching staff and assist with administrative duties, including camps and clinics, community service efforts and alumnae engagement.

Brewster was a four-year member of the Seawolves from 2012-15. During that time she established herself as one of the premier pitchers in the country, picking up two America East Pitcher of the Year awards (2012, 2014) and three All-America East First Team nods (2012, 2014, 2015). In 2013, she led the Seawolves to the NCAA tournament after claiming the America East Title and Tournament MVP honors with a 3-1 record and 1.11 earned run average in the conference postseason.

“To welcome back a Seawolves great, a champion and a Hall of Famer to our program is special. Allie exemplified the very best of Seawolves Softball as a student-athlete, and now she brings her passion, knowledge and dedication to our program and university as a colleague,” Bryant added. “This is a great moment for Seawolves Athletics, our program and our student-athletes. I look forward to working with Allie, and seeing our players thrive under her mentorship as we continue to build our program to contend for CAA Championships.”

A 2022 Stony Brook Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Brewster finished her career with a 2.40 ERA and 685 strikeouts while becoming the program’s all-time leader in wins (77), shutouts (34) and saves (13). She is also one of just eight Seawolves to ever throw a no-hitter and one of just four to toss a perfect game.

“I am thrilled and honored to return to my alma mater as associate head coach. My time here as a student-athlete shaped me both personally and professionally, and I am excited to pour my love for Stony Brook and the softball program into our current and future players,” Brewster said. “I want to sincerely thank Coach Bryant, Director of Athletics Shawn Heilbron and Deputy Athletic Director Debbie DeJong for this incredible opportunity and trusting me to help drive the continued excellence of our softball program.”

Brewster graduated with a degree in sustainability and was named one of 30 finalists for the 2015 Senior CLASS Award. She spent the next year as the co-head coach and pitching instructor at the Chicago Bulls/Sox Academy in Lisle, Illinois. Afterwards, she would transition to collegiate coaching, spending two seasons as an assistant at Southwestern University where she helped the team make the SCAC Championship game in both years.

In 2018, Brewster made the jump to Division I as a member of Cornell’s staff. Responsible for all areas of the team’s daily operations and working closely with the pitchers, she helped the Big Red pick up 12 All-Ivy nods in her six years with the program. During this time Brewster also earned her master’s in kinesiology from Georgia Southern.

In the summer of 2023, Brewster joined Boston University’s staff as an assistant coach. During her three-year stint in Boston, the Terriers went 139-40-1 overall and 48-6 in Patriot League contests, claiming the Patriot League title and making the NCAA tournament in every season. While on the staff, Brewster personally mentored BU’s ace Kasey Ricard. A D1Softball All-American, USA Softball Top 26 Player of the Year Finalist and three-time Patriot League Pitcher of the Year, Ricard thrived under Brewster’s leadership, leading the entire NCAA in wins in 2026 with 33.

Overall, BU’s staff was twice named NFCA Northeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year in Brewster’s tenure. The team also accumulated 21 All-Patriot League honors, seven major Patriot League year-end awards, and 16 NFCA All-Region selections.
