University of Maine softball head coach Mike Coutts has announced the hiring of Jordan (McLain) Fitzpatrick as an assistant coach.
Fitzpatrick, a graduate of Brewer High School, played for the Black Bears from 2007 to 2010.
“As a former player, she understands Maine and the challenges we face,” Coutts said in a news release. “Her experience will help our student-athletes achieve their goals in the classroom, in the community and on the athletic field.”
Fitzpatrick played 55 games at UMaine, where she was the softball summer camp director in 2009 and 2010. She earned a degree in childhood development and family relations with a concentration in elementary education.
She was a volunteer assistant at Bangor High from 2011 to 2013 before working as a paid assistant the last two seasons. Fitzpatrick was a preschool teacher in Orrington for four years.
