Having carried success with her throughout her career asboth a coach and a player, Lacinda Melanson takes on herfirst stint as a collegiate head coach in Pembroke after beingnamed UNCP's ninth head softball coach on Aug. 7, 2008.Melanson comes to Pembroke following a four-year stint(2005-08) as both a graduate assistant and assistant coachat Louisiana-Monroe where she helped lead the Warhawks tomore than 85 wins – including a 12-game improvement afterjust two years on the ULM staff."We found a dynamic coach in Lacinda Melanson - a formerDivision II all-American and an experienced Division I coach,"said UNCP athletic director Dan Kenney. "Lacinda is thedaughter of a college softball coach and understands thework ethic needed to be successful. Most importantly, shehas proven that she cares about the welfare of her student-athletes."Melanson, a Pembroke Pines, Fla., native, played four sea-sons (2001-04) at the University of Tampa where she was athree-time all-conference second baseman for the Spartans.During her four years in Tampa, she helped pace UT to a cu-mulative 123-69 (.641) record, one Sunshine State Confer-ence title and three NCAA postseason appearances. Shewas also a member of three of Tampa’s four 30-win squads,including pacing the Spartans to a then-school record 35 vic-tories in 2002.“UNCP is very fortunate to have someone with Lacinda’sknowledge of the game and tremendous values,” said Tampahead coach Leslie Kanter. “She has a lot to give to the ath-letes and to the UNCP program.”

Melanson enjoyed a phenomenal junior season that saw herrecord a team- and career-best .354 (46-for-130) batting av-erage to go along with 12 extra-base hits (1 HR) 23 RBI and18 runs scored. Her numbers would earn her second teamall-American and first team all-region honors, as well as thefirst of two consecutive first team all-SSC accolades.Named “Major of the Year” and “Outstanding EducationGraduate” (3.57 cumulative grade point average) at the con-clusion of her senior year, she also served a stint as captainof the UT softball squad and was a co-leader of a Bible studyfor athletes with Campus Crusade for Christ.Following her standout playing career, she made the transi-tion to the coaching world as a graduate assistant atLouisiana-Monroe and the effects of her tutelage were felt al-most immediately. The Warhawks, who recorded just 13 winsthe year prior to her arrival (2004), would flirt with the .500mark during her first season as a full-time assistant (2006)en route to 27 victories on the shoulders of record-breakingoffensive numbers. ULM would, again, churn out school-bestoffensive statistics the following season in its first year ofcompetition in the Sun Belt Conference.She has also gained coaching stints on the staffs of both theDavie (Fla.) Power softball organization and the Gold CoastHurricanes (Plantation, Fla.). She served as an assistantcoach with both organizations, including her stint with thepower under her father and current St. Thomas head coachJeff Norman.Melanson earned her bachelor’s degree in exercise sciencefrom Tampa in 2004 and her master’s degree in kinesiologyfrom ULM in 2005. She married her husband, Justin, inMarch of 2008.
