SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Andrea Smith is joining the Syracuse softball staff as a volunteer assistant coach for the 2017-18 season, according to head coach, Mike Bosch. Smith joins the staff after serving as an assistant coach at Southeastern Community College.
Â
"Coach Smith will bring energy and knowledge to our outfield," Bosch said. "She has proven herself to have a great work ethic and has a character skill set to help our team in the upcoming season."
Â
In her lone season coaching at Southeastern C.C., Smith worked primarily with the outfielders and ran offensive drills. She was an essential part in helping the program flip a 2016 record of 13-21 to a 2017 mark of 30-20. Â
Â
"I'm extremely excited to join the Syracuse softball staff," Smith said. "It has been a dream of mine to coach at the NCAA Division I level, especially in the ACC. Coach Bosch and staff have really put Syracuse softball on the map and I can't wait to contribute to the success of the program."
Â
Smith began her collegiate softball career at Southeastern C.C. and collected many accolades. Over two seasons, she was a two-time ICCAC All-Academic Team selection, an ICCAC Second Team All-Conference Team member and was a part of the ICCAC Region XI championship team in 2014.
Â
The Burlington, Iowa native completed her collegiate career with two more seasons at the University of Dubuque. Smith was a two-time NFCA All-America Scholar Athlete selection, an IIAC First Team All-Conference member and was a two-time recipient of the Dubuque Spartan Softball Award. Â Â
