Greg McQuillin entered his third season on the BGSU softball staff in the 2026-27 academic year. McQuillin joined the Falcons as an assistant coach in August of 2024, after spending the previous six years at the University of Arizona.
In McQuillin's first season on the BGSU staff, the 2025 Falcons posted an overall record of 16-36 and a Mid-American Conference mark of 7-19. BGSU topped both the overall and MAC win totals for the previous two years combined.
The 2025 team scored 219 runs, the fourth-highest total in program history, and BGSU ranked in the top five in school history in a total of seven offensive categories, including runs per game (4.21, fifth); RBI (198, third); walks (153; fifth); batters hit by pitch (32, third); on-base percentage (.350; fifth) and sacrifice flies (13, tie-third).
Individually, Addie Martin was named to the MAC’s All-Freshman Team. She hit 13 homers, the second-highest single-season total in program history. With 15 stolen bases, Martin became the first player in program history to hit at least 12 homers and steal at least 12 bases in the same season.
Then, in 2026, the Falcons topped the overall win total by four, going 20-29 overall. BGSU set program single-season records in walks (190), times hit by pitch (52) and runs batted in (207). BG had an on-base percentage of .377 and the Falcons stole 94 bases in 2026, with those totals/averages ranking second in school history.
The 2026 season marked the first time in program history that four players have posted double-digit steal totals. And, all four of those Falcons swiped at least 15 bases.
In the circle, the Falcons had a team earned-run average of 3.98 in 2026, more than a run-per-game improvement from the '25 staff's 5.24 mark.
The BG offense scored 4.61 runs per game, the program's highest average in nearly two decades (2007) and the third-highest average in program history. And, BG's total of 226 runs was also the third-highest in school history, and fell just four runs shy of breaking the school record.
McQuillin joined the softball program at Arizona, his alma mater, in September of 2018 as a student manager, and was named a graduate assistant in 2022.
During his time with the powerhouse program, he helped the Wildcats make three College World Series appearances in his six years, with UA advancing as far as the Super Regionals on four occasions.
He began his tenure serving as a bullpen catcher, and transitioned to working with both the offense and the defense. In 2023, his first season as the team’s GA, McQuillin was the team’s first-base coach while assisting in offense, defense and pitch calling.
McQuillin’s first three years at UA saw head coach Mike Candrea’s team post an overall record of 111-32.
His sister, Taylor McQuillin, was a pitcher for the Wildcats, and now pitches professionally with Athletes Unlimited in addition to being an assistant coach at Southern Utah University.
Greg McQuillin received a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies from Arizona in May of 2022, and earned a Master of Science degree in Business Administration in June of 2024.
“I am thrilled for the opportunity to contribute to Bowling Green softball,” said McQuillin at the time of his hiring. “I am excited to join a program with such an amazing leader and group of staff looking to build something special.
“I look forward to getting to work with the student athletes, athletic department, and the community to help build BGSU softball into something great both on and off the field. The future of BGSU softball is bright, and I cant wait to hop on this journey with everyone at BGSU!”
