Megan Aliverti Named Softball Head Coach
MEQUON, Wis. – The Concordia University Wisconsin Athletics Department under the leadership of Dr. Rob Barnhill has announced the hiring of Megan Aliverti as the new softball head coach.
I am pleased to announce the hiring of Megan Aliverti for the position of head softball coach," said Director of Athletics Dr. Rob Barnhill. "Megan had wonderful interviews with our staff and overwhelmingly positive reference responses. Her background across all levels of the NCAA, in her brief career, has provided her with a solid foundation and I believe that she will be very successful in her first stint as a head coach. During the interview process, she asked me about my expectations, and I responded in no uncertain terms that I was not willing to take a step back in the overall performance and competitiveness of our outstanding softball program. She did not flinch. I look forward to having her as part of the Falcon family and I am sure she will fit into the CUW culture we have established on campus and in athletics."
Excitement is in the air for Aliverti to write the next chapter in CUW softball history.
"I am very grateful to Rob Barnhill, the athletic department, and the university for giving me the opportunity to lead this program," said Aliverti. "It has been a dream of mine to be a head coach and be able to impact student-athletes through softball. I look forward to continuing to build on the strong foundation of Falcons softball for many successful seasons to come."
