Kelly McKenna Named Head Coach
for Women’s Softball Team
6/28/02
McKenna played Division I softball from 1997 – 2000 at Rider. She participated on Rider's NCAA College World Series team in 1997, was voted a pre-season MAAC Conference All-American in 2000 and received an Academic Athletic Award in 2000.
"I want to step up the [Mercer] program to another level, yet allow the players to still have fun," said McKenna. "I plan to bring a positive outlook and create a good atmosphere for the players."
Said Athletic Director John Simone, "I am very pleased that Kelly will be directing our softball program. She brings a wealth of collegiate and competitive softball knowledge to Mercer, solid local recruiting contacts and a tremendous passion for the game."
McKenna replaces Joanne Harrison, who resigned after three years as head coach at the conclusion of the spring season.
