Tyra Perry of Illinois and Sharonda McDonald-Kelley of Michigan State will meet in a three-game series this weekend that is believed to be the first time two Black female coaches have squared off in Power Five softball.

The Spartans were scheduled to play three games at Illinois, starting with Friday’s opener.

“I think it’s great that we’re evolving and becoming more diverse in our sport,” Perry said. “I think it’s been a long time coming, so I’m happy to be a part of that particular change.”
