FRESNO STATE HIRES MARCIE GREEN-JONES

FRESNO , CA.— The Fresno State Athletics Department has announced the
hiring of new assistant softball coach Marcie Green-Jones.

Green-Jones, a four-year standout pitcher for the Fresno State Bulldogs
(1990-93), replaces Laura Berg, who stepped down after making her third
U.S. Women’s National Team that will compete in the 2004 Summer Olympic
Games in Athens , Greece .

"I am extremely excited to have Marcie join our staff," Fresno State
head softball coach Margie Wright said.  "She is very competitive and a
hard worker.  She brings expertise in the total game of softball.  Her
loyalty to and knowledge of the program will add a great deal.  I'm
really looking forward to her coming on board."

"I am overjoyed to become a Bulldog again," Green-Jones said.  "Being
back in the colors that I wore with such pride is tremendous.  I am
looking forward to working with Coach Wright again and help continue the
Bulldog winning tradition."

Green-Jones comes to Fresno State after serving the previous three
years as an assistant coach at the College of Sequoias . 
 
Green-Jones 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 the ‘Dogs
finished third both years.

As a Bulldog, Green-Jones 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 three in eight pitching categories while
listed overall in 15 of the17 pitching categories.

The Visalia , Calif. , native, graduated from Fresno State with a
bachelor of science degree in criminology in 1994.
