HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Marshall University Director of Golf Joe Feaganes announced today that Meredith Knight, a former collegiate golfer at New Mexico State, has been named assistant golf coach for the Thundering Herd’s men’s and women’s golf programs.

“I am really excited about this opportunity,” said Knight. “I am thrilled to be working with such a well respected and thought of coach as Joe Feaganes.”

Knight, a native of Jacksboro, Texas, comes to Marshall after working as an assistant golf professional for the past year in Dallas, Texas. Knight graduated from New Mexico State University in with a B.A. in Marketing and Professional Golf Management and has completed level two testing and level three seminars of the Golf Professional Training Program. She spent one year on the golf team at NMSU, after transferring from McMurry University where she was a two-year letter winner in golf and a member of McMurry’s first-ever women’s golf team.

“I am extremely happy to have Meredith involved in our program,” said Feaganes. “I feel that her professional experience and golf background will be a tremendous edition to our golf program.”

Knight, will be involved in every aspect of both Marshall’s men’s and women’s golf programs, ranging from scheduling to day to day operations. Marshall will begin competition in women’s golf next year, with Feaganes and Knight working with both squads.

“Women’s golf at Marshall is going to be a big positive for Marshall,” said Knight. “With all that Joe has been able to do with the Marshall golf program and everything that we have in place, I do not think it is going to take us very long to field a competitive team that we can all be proud of.”
