Mike Fegeley was the Rams' head softball coach from 2018-23.

In 2021, the Rams went 17-10, posting their first winning record since 2014 and their best winning percentage since at least 1990. Emily Akelaitis made history, becoming the first player in CACC history to win both the Player and Rookie of the Year awards in the same season.

Jefferson played just four games in 2020 before the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, the Rams finished 20-27 and made it to the final day of the CACC Tournament, placing third. In his first season as head coach, Fegeley and the Rams went 17-23, including 13-13 in conference play, as the squad reached the CACC Tournament.

Fegeley came to Jefferson after spending six years as an assistant softball coach at La Salle University in Philadelphia. There, he assisted in all aspects of the game while serving as the bench coach during games. He coordinated team equipment while traveling and organized all indoor and outdoor practice schedules. Fegeley supported the development of his student-athletes both inside the classroom and on the field as the Explorers earned conference postseason bids in both 2014 and 2015.

In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Fegeley served as a high school coach and travel ball coach for the better part of two decades.  He was part of the softball program at Cheltenham High School from 1992 to 2011. Fegeley started as the junior varsity head coach before making his way to assistant varsity coach in 1998. From 2004 to 2011, Fegeley headed the varsity program.

He was also the head coach of the Blazing Angels 18U Gold travel ball team from 2003 to 2010 after joining the team as an assistant in 2002. With the Blazing Angels, he managed a four-person coaching staff and assisted players in the college recruitment process, acting as a liaison between players and college coaches.

Prior to coaching the Blazing Angels, he was the head coach of the Bristol Force 16/18U team from 1997 to 2000 after coaching the Philadelphia Spirit 12/14U from 1994 to 1997.
