WHEELING – A former West Liberty University softball player says was a victim of hazing and even death threats by teammates, and she says the coach and athletic director did nothing about it.
Abigail Ferlin of Sharon, Pennsylvania, filed her complaint in Ohio Circuit Court against the school, softball Coach Herbert Minch, Athletic Director Lynn Ullom and teammate Dariah Smith.
According to the complaint, Ferlin says she reported a death threat made by Smith to Minch on October 30, 2018. He responded by saying, “Oh God, this isn’t good,” “We’ve been having other issues with her” and “It will be taken care of.”
