Nathan Ohta begins his first season as the head of the Warrior softball program this season at Corban College after serving last season as assistant coach.
Nathan, a 2002 Corban graduate, takes the helm, stepping in to replace former head coach Michelle Hext, who resigned in July after leading the Warriors in 2006. Nathan joined Hext as her top assistant in the spring, and the two helped re-invigorate the softball program. Corban improved its overall and conference records in 2007, while beating NCAA Division II Northwest Nazarene and every NAIA conference opponent except one.
Nathan, who is also an assistant coach with the Oregon Slammers U14 summer team, returns to the head of the sport he helped launch back in 2001 when he oversaw Corban's first club softball team. For two years (2001-2003), Nathan handled all administrative, recruiting, and coaching duties during the program's club phase, helping the college advance Warrior softball to an official intercollegiate sport in 2004.
"Corban has always been a special place to me, and I'm excited to be able to coach a sport I love at a school I love," said Nathan.
Nathan resides in Salem and will continue his employment as a teacher at Albany Christian School.
