Dr. Lin Garner, interim athletic director, made the official announcement Wednesday afternoon.

Myers, a native of Hanover, Pa., has spent the past two seasons with the Lady Bisons as a graduate assistant. She received her Master's degree from Lipscomb in Education Administration in May 2008.

"We are very excited that Lexi Myers has joined our athletic family on a more permanent basis," said Garner.

We look forward to another outstanding year in Lipscomb softball with Coach Myers' help."

Myers" primary areas will be working with the Lady Bisons pitching staff and recruiting.

The Lady Bisons, under the direction of head coach Kristin Peck, were co-champions in the regular season in the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2008. They have also made back-to-back trips to the Atlantic Sun Tournament the past two seasons.
