Houston Christian University is proud to welcome Bert Emanuel as the new head coach of HCU Softball.

A Houston native and former Rice University and NFL standout, Coach Emanuel becomes only the third head coach in program history. He founded Texas KAOS, an elite college-prep softball organization, where he developed dozens of collegiate athletes — including two All-Americans. He takes the reins from Mary-Ellen Hall, who retires after 35 remarkable seasons and 933 career victories.

"My vision is to build a team culture centered on faith, discipline, development and competitive excellence — an environment where our players can grow as athletes, students and young women."

Please join us in welcoming Coach Emanuel and his family to the HCU community.

Your GO prep checklist ✅

Before you show up to orientation, knock these out:

1️⃣ Take the ALEKS Math Placement Exam
Find it on HuskyNet. Do this BEFORE your GO session so your advisor can place you in the right math course!

2️⃣ Submit Proof of Meningitis Vaccination
Texas law requires this for all new students under 22. You can't attend classes or move in without it — submit before GO.

3️⃣ Complete the FERPA Form on HuskyNet
If you want your parents to speak with financial aid on your behalf, this must be done in advance.

4️⃣ Submit Your Deposits
Secure your enrollment and housing by submitting your deposits in Huskynet.

Do these now and walk into GO ready to GO. 💪
