Maryland athletic director Damon Evans announced Monday morning that Mark Montgomery will be the next head coach of the Maryland softball program.
Montgomery, who replaces former Maryland softball head coach Julie Wright after she resigned in August, comes to Maryland after leading Louisiana Tech to conference regular-season and tournament championships, earning himself 2019 Conference USA Co-Coach of the Year honors.
“Mark brings nearly two decades of of collegiate head coaching success to our softball program, including a tremendous tenure most recently at Louisiana Tech,” Evans said. “More importantly, his student-athletes have a proven track record of succeeding in all facets of the collegiate experience, and we are confident he will transfer that success to College Park.
