Parkside High School graduate (Class of 2000), Monica Gordy Polizzi, has been named the new Director of Athletics at Salisbury University. Polizzi comes to SU from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, N.C., where she has served as Senior Associate Athletic Director of Internal Operations since February 2022. Prior to that, she spent 11 years at Mars Hill University (N.C.), including eight as head softball coach and three as Assistant Director of Athletics.
Gordy Polizzi helped lead the Rams' softball team to four post-season appearances during her career at Parkside, including the Maryland state finals.
"I am excited for the chance to lead the Sea Gulls, and I'm eager to work with so many talented and successful coaches and staff," said Polizzi, a Salisbury native. "Growing up near the University, I had the opportunity to experience the enthusiasm around some of the program's
earliest team championships in the 1990s. I can't wait to play a part in that legacy, and to partner with the campus in support of SU's pursuit of excellence."
Congratulations to this Wicomico Public Schools alum!
