Ottumwa -- Jennifer Marshall joined the Indian Hills softball coaching staff after the 2019 fall season and will help head coach Lindsay Diehl in the 2020 spring campaign as the Warriors bid for a return trip to the NJCAA National Tournament.  Marshall arrived at IHCC after a stint as a professor and assistant softball coach at Morrisville State College in Morrisville, New York.  Prior to her time at Morrisville State, Marshall spent three years as an assistant coach and athletic administration intern at Finger Lakes Community College in Canandaigua, New York.  She filled those positions while she was earning a bachelor's in sports management with a minor in coaching from The College of Brockport in Brockport, New York.  Marshall obtained her associates degree in athletic training from Finger Lakes CC.  She is currently working on a master's degree in sports management from SUNY Cortland, also in New York.

Upon being added to the softball coaching staff at Indian Hills, Marshall said, "I am excited to begin a journey at Indian Hills and get back to the NJCAA level.  Looking at the past and discussing the program with coach Diehl and others at the college, I learned it has a very rich history.  I am eager to continue to teach, learn and grow through this experience.  I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this stable program.  I would l ike to thank coach Diehl and the athletic department for the warm welcome and for showing me that Indian Hills has a family feel."

Diehl is happy to have Marshall as a member of her staff heading into the 2020 season.  "From my first phone call," Diehl said, "I could tell that coach Marshall studies the game and wants to continue to grow as well as share the knowledge she has.  I was excited she had played at the juco level and had a passion to return to the NJCAA.  She has been here a short time and is already jumping in and wants to help our players grow.  She is also doing a great job of getting to know our current athletes.  I also think she will do a great job out recruiting and talking to kids about Indian Hills.  We are looking forward to the season starting and getting out on the field."
