Daniel Stockdale is the head softball coach at Towson University in Towson, Maryland, a position he assumed on June 12, 2026. He became the program's sixth head coach after serving as head coach at Delaware State University, where he led the Hornets for five seasons and oversaw steady improvement after his first year. Delaware State posted 54 wins across the 2025 and 2026 seasons, its best two-year total since 2013 and 2014. The 2025 team finished with the program's first winning record in 11 years, and the 2026 squad won 28 games, put together a 16-game winning streak, and finished as the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference regular-season runner-up, the school's highest conference finish since 2008.
Before Delaware State, Stockdale was on the Georgia State softball staff from 2017 to 2019. He began as a volunteer assistant and was promoted to assistant coach during the 2018 season, focusing primarily on the pitching staff as the team lowered its ERA to 3.11 over the final 25 games that year. He previously spent one season as an assistant softball coach at Memphis, working with catchers, infielders, and hitters while the Tigers won 29 games, earned the program's first American Athletic Conference Tournament victory, and set a school record for hits in a season.
