Excerpt from the Article:
"Mel was always a hustler, hard-working and so locked into the team," said Gasso. "She has earned this head coaching opportunity and will be a wonderful female role model to her student-athletes, which is so important in today's world."
The announcement is a dream come true for Meuchel, who was born in Missoula into a softball family and raised in the fastpitch community.
Her grandparents played the sport. Her parents did also, and began coaching it as well, spreading its popularity down to the youth levels of western Montana.
Meuchel and her brother, Matt, the former head coach at Nevada and now an assistant at Arkansas, followed the same path. There was no denying it. It was in their blood.
"Everybody in the family, on both sides, from aunts to uncles to cousins, whether they played or coached, it's kind of been a family tie," said Meuchel, who was not only brought up around softball. She's also been a Grizzly since birth.
