FARMVILLE, Va. – Longwood University softball coach Kathy Riley will take a leave of absence from the program for the remainder of the 2020 season, the university's athletics department announced Wednesday.
 
The team will play the rest of the season under the collective leadership of assistant coaches Kayla Miller, Emily Murphy and Carly Adams.
 
"As coach Riley takes the time she needs to address a private matter, our program will be in excellent hands with coach Miller, coach Murphy and coach Adams leading our student-athletes through the remainder of this season," said athletics director Michelle Meadows.
 
Longwood will continue its 2020 campaign at the UCF Invitational on Feb. 28 through March 1 in Orlando, Fla.
