After nine years as head softball coach for the University of Kansas, Megan Smith moved east this summer and took over as Marshall University softball’s new head coach.
Smith, a Walkertown, North Carolina, native and University of North Carolina alumna, was officially hired by Marshall in mid-July. She said that aside from Marshall’s close proximity to her North Carolina home, Marshall’s softball program matched what she was looking for.
“I wanted to come to a place that supports softball and is excited about softball,” Smith said. “That is definitely what Marshall is. It’s been a great two months now and I’ve really enjoyed it.
