Columbia, Mo. - A new era in Mizzou Softball begins today as Larissa Anderson has been named the 10th head coach to lead the tradition-rich Tiger program. Anderson, who has spent the past four seasons as head coach at Hofstra University, will be formally introduced at a press conference next month after completing her duties with the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) at next week's NCAA Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City.
"I am thrilled that we were able to recruit Larissa Anderson to Mizzou and am confident that she will build upon the great Tiger Softball tradition that has been established over the last 44 seasons in Columbia," said Mizzou Director of Athletics Jim Sterk.
