Sister Duo Strengthens Arkansas Softball | Fayetteville Arkansas News

Arkansas softball is elevating its leadership with a powerhouse family move: head coach Courtney Deifel brings on her sister, Amanda Scott, as executive director of softball operations and program strategy. Scott’s resume is stacked—she led Missouri Saint Louis to four NCAA tournaments and two conference titles, built Roosevelt from scratch, and helped Illinois Chicago reach the regional round. Her coaching stops at Iowa and Michigan State included championship runs. As a player at Fresno State, she was elite, leading the nation in ERA twice and winning a national title in 1998—all while posting an ERA under one. Now, she joins Arkansas after their historic season that brought them to the Women’s College World Series for the first time, setting program records and dominating at home. This move signals serious momentum—and big things ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
