Maryland named Lauren Karn the new head coach of the Maryland softball program on Thursday, following the resignation of Mark Montgomery in July.
“I am extremely excited to be named the head coach of the Maryland softball program,” Karn said in a statement. “I want to thank [athletic director] Damon Evans, [associate athletic director] Mark Sherburne and the search committee for their time and effort through this entire process. Maryland is a program on the rise in the Big Ten and on the national scene.”
Karn was recently the head coach at Oakland University for six seasons (2018-2023).
