Since wrapping up her playing career with the Arizona Wildcats, former NFCA All-American Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza has been the volunteer assistant coach on Melyssa Lombardi’s Oregon staff. The expansion of softball coaching staffs this season means that the former centerfielder no longer has to find a separate way to support herself. The Ducks announced on Friday that she has been promoted to full-time paid assistant coach.
