Nevada's newest softball coach comes with some controversy to overcome.
Linda Garza was named the head coach of the Nevada softball program, Nevada athletic director Doug Knuth announced Friday.
Garza is the sixth head coach in program history. She joins the Wolf Pack after spending the previous five seasons as head coach at Fresno State.
At Fresno State, Garza compiled a 161-82 record with 21 Mountain West all-conference selections, 12 NFCA All-Region honorees, three postseason appearances, including two NCAA Tournaments, two Mountain West Pitcher of the Year recipients, two Mountain West Freshman of the Year awardees, one Mountain West Player of the Year recipient, one 2021 USA Top 25 Player of the Year watch list selection, one 2019 Shutt Sports NFCA Freshman of the Year Top 25 honoree, and one Mountain West title.
