Former Lady Vol infielder Melissa Brown is entering her fifth season as the director of operations for Tennessee softball, serving on the staff of her former head coach Karen Weekly.
Her job duties include the coordination, planning and execution of the program’s day-to-day activities, as well as coordinating team travel plans and meals and supervising the team’s managers.
Brown returned to Rocky Top after spending the 2016 and 2017 seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at LSU. During her time with the Tigers, the program made the NCAA Tournament and advanced to the Women’s College World Series. With her as a volunteer assistant coach in 2017, the Tigers made a remarkable run to the Women’s College World Series by going on the road for a Super Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., where they defeated then-No. 4 Florida State to advance to their third straight WCWS.
Prior to her time at LSU, Brown completed her Master’s degree in Sports Psychology and Motor Behavior at Tennessee while serving as a manager under the Weeklys for two seasons.
As a player at Tennessee, Brown helped the Big Orange reach the Women’s College World Series three times (2010, 2012 and 2013) and the NCAA Tournament four times. The Valencia, California, native started 154 games over her four seasons, while recording 126 hits and scoring 107 runs.
