Oregon softball head coach Melyssa Lombardi rounded out her coaching staff on Wednesday with the hiring of Megan Langenfeld as an assistant coach. A three-time all-American and 2010 national champion as a player with UCLA, Langenfeld comes to the Ducks after spending the 2018 season as pitching coach at UC Riverside. She joins fellow assistant Justin Shults and volunteer assistant Sierra Romero on Lombardi’s first staff at Oregon. Langenfeld helped take the UC Riverside pitching staff to new heights in 2018, leading the Highlanders to 15 shutouts, a no-hitter and several new program records in the circle. Individually, Hailey Dolcini went 15-9 and boasted a 1.80 ERA to rank second in program single-season history, and Tayler Misfeldt tied for second all-time with 21 wins while posting a 2.51 ERA. Langenfeld went to UC Riverside in August 2017 after spending the previous three seasons (2015-17) as an assistant at Stanford. Before joining the Cardinal, Langenfeld worked as a graduate assistant and manager for two years (2013-14) at Arkansas.
