Concordia Nebraska has announced Tatum Edwards as their new head coach.
Edwards spent the last three seasons as an assistant coach at Omaha, helping guide the Mavericks’ program to a 16-win improvement from the 2019 season to the 2021 campaign.
“Our athletic leadership team identified Coach Edwards as an exceptional young coach in our search for a new leader of Concordia Softball,” athletic director Devin Smith said in a statement. “Her credentials as both a coach and player speak for themselves and will serve her well as she takes this new step in her professional career. I believe strongly in Tatum’s ability to elevate our program, establish day-to-day consistency for our student-athletes and represent Bulldog Athletics with Christian character. I look forward to working with Coach Edwards.”
Prior to her stint on staff at Omaha, Edwards spent one season as volunteer assistant at Purdue in 2018 and two seasons as a graduate assistant at Nebraska, her alma mater. She also played professional softball domestically for three seasons.
During her playing career at Nebraska, Edwards was a two-time All-American and was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year in 2013. She finished her playing career as a Husker with her name in the all-time top ten in seven statistical categories in the circle and five statistical categories at the plate.
