CORVALLIS, Ore. – Beaver Nation will see a familiar face in the dugout when the 2024 Oregon State softball season starts, as Marcie Green rejoins the program, head coach Laura Berg announced on Thursday.
As she did in her first stint in Corvallis, Green will work primarily with the pitching staff.
Returning after a season hiatus, she was on staff for a decade that ended with the program’s second-ever trip to the Women’s College World Series in 2022 that featured an honor of the NFCA Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
Green came to Oregon State after spending the previous nine years as an assistant at her alma mater-Fresno State. She helped the Bulldogs to NCAA Tournament appearances each season, in addition to four WAC championships and two conference tournament titles.
A four-year standout for the Bulldog softball program at pitcher, Green came to Fresno State after serving three years as an assistant coach at the College of Sequoias. COS finished third place at the 2003 state tournament and was part of a coaching staff that was selected as the 2003 National Fastpitch Coaches Association/California Junior College Coaching Staff of the Year.
While COS captured two conference titles (2002 and ’03) under her assistance, she also coached her first NFCA All-America pitcher. In addition, Green served as an adjunct faculty member who taught a physical education class on Fundamentals of Fast Pitch Softball.
In the Amateur Softball Association arena, Green was an assistant coach for the Valley ICE Softball Organization for two years and helped the 18-under team reach the national tournament in 2001 and 2002. Also, Green co-directed the Fresno Force Softball Organization (1992-95). As co-head coach she helped the 16-under team to a national title in 1993 while reaching nationals with numerous age groups with the Fresno Force.
Green wrapped up her Bulldog career listed among the school’s career top five in virtually every pitching category. The two-time All-Big West honoree guided Fresno State to three Big West Conference titles en route to four NCAA Regional appearances and three Women’s College World Series showings.
The two-time team co-MVP was named all-WCWS as a freshman when the Bulldogs finished as the national runner-up in 1990. With a tournament leading 14 strikeouts at the WCWS, she recorded shutout wins over Arizona and Oklahoma State. The next two years she would be decisive in the circle for the Bulldogs as she won the regional championship games that sent the Bulldogs to the WCWS in 1991 and ’92, in which Fresno State finished third both years.
As a Bulldog, Green went 86-26 in the circle with 60 shutouts and 584 strikeouts in 779.1 innings pitched for a 0.66 ERA. In addition, she appeared in 119 games and started 112 while tossing 104 complete games. Throwing four no-hitters and tallying three 20-win seasons, she ranks among the program’s top pitchers.
The Visalia, Calif., native, graduated from Fresno State with a Bachelor of Science in criminology in 1994.
