Ali Brems joined Loyola University Chicago in July 2025 as an assistant coach for Ramblers softball.
Brems comes to Rogers Park after four seasons as the assistant coach at Lindenwood University. She led the Lions' pitching staff to a team ERA of 3.31, good for third in the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC), and coached standout pitcher Avery Wapp, a Second Team All-OVC selection who finished the 2025 season with a 2.40 ERA.
The Kenosha, Wis. native's impact at Lindenwood was immediate and extended beyond the circle, helping the Lions to the program's first-ever NCAA Division II Midwest Regional bid in her inaugural season.
Prior to Lindenwood, Brems served as an assistant coach at Truman State University, where she specialized in pitching and also aided in outfield instruction and recruiting. She also spent six years at nearby Lewis University as both a student-athlete and a graduate assistant.
Brems was a dual threat on the diamond, doing damage in both the box and inside the circle. She earned Second Team All-GLVC East Division for her pitching efforts in 2013 and was a second team selection one year later as a utility player.
A graduate of the prestigious NCAA Women Coaches Academy (2018), Brems received her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science and Psychology from Lewis and holds a Master of Arts in Leadership from Truman State.
