Waterbury, Conn. - Post University is excited to announce the hiring of Julie Meyer as its new head softball coach.

Meyer comes to Post after spending the last seven seasons as the assistant and associate head softball coach at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York.

While at Hofstra, she was the first base and dugout coach for two years each, assisting with all on-field fundamentals. In the 2018 season, the Pride increased in every offensive category as Meyer was the lead hitting coach at the time. She was also part of a staff that led Hofstra to two Colonial Athletic Association championships in 2015 and 2018. She was also a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches' Association Northeast Region Coaching Staff of the Year in 2015 and 2018.

Meyer was also a liaison with Athletic Academic Support to ensure all student-athletes are maintaining above a 3.6 GPA.

Prior to Hofstra, Meyer spent 2011-2014 at the University of Mississippi as an assistant, coaching first base while working with infielders, catchers and developing hitting and slapping skills. Defensively, the team set a school record in 2013 with a .979 fielding percentage. She also coordinated and ran the Ole Miss softball camps.

Before Ole Miss, Meyer was an assistant coach at the University of Memphis, where she worked with infielders and catchers daily, organized and ran camps and oversaw the team's travel.

Meyer is a 2010 graduate of the University of California with a degree in sociology. She played for the Bears as at first base and catcher from 2005 to 2008, hitting 25 career home runs and driving in 85 runs in 257 games. In 2005, she helped lead the Bears to the College World Series.
