Scott Lowe selected BYU-Hawaii head softball coach

Laie, HI - Brigham Young University Hawaii has appointed Scott Lowe to be the new head coach of the women's softball team at the school to replace Jackson Mapu, who retired this year after 10 seasons at the helm of the Seasiders.

Lowe will continue to serve as the school's assistant athletic director and sports information director in addition to assuming the softball duties.

Lowe, who has served as sports information director for the Seasiders for the past 12 years and as assistant athletic director for the last six years, played and coached fast-pitch softball at the highest levels for many years prior to coming to BYU-Hawaii and says he is excited to get back into the game.

"I am really looking forward to the challenge of building a winning tradition in softball at BYU-Hawaii," he said. "I feel we have a good nucleus of players returning this coming season and can't get wait to get on the field with them."

At this point, no assistant coaches have been named, but Lowe said he expects to fill out the coaching staff soon.
