LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former Boston University associate head softball coach Jen McIntyre was named the inaugural Division I Assistant Coach of the Year by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), as announced on Thursday.
Recently hired as the head coach at Connecticut, McIntyre was instrumental in helping guide the Terriers to a Patriot League title and an NCAA tournament appearance last season. BU won 36 games last year, including an elimination-game victory over American Athletic Conference champion Louisville in front of a national television audience on ESPN at the NCAA Regionals. The Terriers came within one win of advancing to the regional final.
McIntyre coordinated recruiting, compliance, academics and strength & conditioning in addition to coaching the outfielders and offense. Beyond her coaching, McIntyre’s energy and positive attitude helped lead BU to school records in four offensive categories.
The winners were nominated by their NFCA member head coach and selected by a panel of their peers on the NFCA Awards Committee.
