Throwback Thursday - Melissa Knecht, Former Notre Dame Softball Player

With the boys of summer returning this week (hooray for baseball!), I thought I’d switch it up and tell the story of a former Notre Dame Softball player for my Throwback Thursday post. Melissa Knecht played softball at Notre Dame from 1988 - 1992, and was a member of the first varsity softball team at Notre Dame. Coached by the Notre Dame legend, Brian Boulac, Melissa had the unique opportunity to not only be on the ground floor of Notre Dame’s brand new softball program, but to help build a legacy as well. How did Melissa end up playing softball for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish?
