Head Coach | Jamie Smyth
Named as the Saint Joseph's College Head Softball Coach prior to the 1998 season, Smyth has guided the Monks to 16 winning seasons in 20 years at the helm. During his tenure, St. Joe's has captured eight conference titles, two regional championships and made four appearances in the NCAA National Tournament.
Smyth’s coaching success has not gone unnoticed by his peers, as evidenced by his total of eight Coach of the Year accolades, a list that includes GNAC top coach honors in 2010, 2012 and 2014.
The winningest head coach in program history, Smyth notched his 300th career victory on April 9th, 2011, registered his 400th triumph on March 29th, 2014, and recorded his 500th win on April 13th, 2018.
The 2018 softball team went 20-19 overall with a 15-9 record in conference play en route to securing the #4 seed in the GNAC Tournament. The Monks opened with a 7-3 win over Albertus Magnus College but bowed out of tourney contention with losses to top-seeded Suffolk University and #3 Simmons College.
After the season, Melodie Bailey (Lebanon, Maine), Libby Pomerleau (Limerick, Maine), Meghan Elliott (Mendon, Mass.), and Maizie Lee (Saco, Maine) garnered All-Conference honors.
