HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Marshall Director of Athletics Mike Hamrick announced Tuesday that Brooke Bellomy will serve as interim head coach of the women’s program.

Bellomy served as a volunteer assistant last season in addition to her duties as Marshall softball’s Director of Operations.

“Brooke’s roots are in our community and she has gained valuable experience both as part of a great golf tradition at Campbell University and in working with our program here at Marshall,” said Hamrick.

“These intangibles make her uniquely qualified to lead this program.”

Matt Grobe, who has coached the Thundering Herd’s men’s team for the past four seasons, has also been named Director of Golf.

Bellomy, the 2012 West Virginia Women’s Amateur champion, played collegiately for Campbell University from 2011-15.

During her four years at Campbell, she earned nine top 10 finishes, including winning the 2012 Golfweek Program Challenge.

For the victory, her 54-hole total set a school record (68-75-68—211) with two of those rounds a new collegiate career best and was named Big South Women’s Golfer of the Week.

She was named to the All-Big South Conference Team in 2012-13 after concluding the season with a career-best five top 10 finishes, including finishing tied for eighth at the Big South Championship.

The Ona, W.Va. native performed well in Big South Championships, finishing in the top 10 twice and helping the Camels win the conference title in 2012, 201 and 2015. Campbell advanced to the NCAA Regionals every year of her career and played in the NCAA Championships twice (2014 and ’15). As a senior, she finished the Big South Championship tied for fifth and was named to the All-Championship Team.
