Former Northwestern University standout pitcher Courtnay Foster joined the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball program in November 2017.

Foster’s collegiate coaching timeline includes the past two seasons as head coach at Bucknell and a five-year stint (2011-15) as an assistant at her alma mater.
 
She guided Bucknell to a 50-43 record and four players combined for five All-Patriot League awards during her short time there. At Northwestern, Foster played a key role in the development of two of the Big Ten's top pitchers – Kristen Wood led the conference in strikeouts and ranked in the Top 20 nationally in strikeouts per seven innings in 2014, while Amy Letourneau did the same in 2013.
 
Foster, one of the best pitchers in NU’s history, was a three-time All-Big Ten and Academic All-Big Ten selection, two-time NFCA All-Mideast Region honoree and 2005 NFCA All-American. She compiled 80 wins, 1,014 career strikeouts and led the Wildcats to a WCWS win over Alabama in 2006.
