Chattanooga State Softball
Chattanooga State softball has become synonymous with quality, excellence and class. Entering her ninth year as head coach, Beth Keylon-Randolph has molded a program that sets the standard both on the field and in the classroom.
Chattanooga State consistently produces NJCAA All Americans along with yearly Region 7 athletic recognition. Academically, Tiger softball continues to be recognized both individually and as a team.
2009-2010 promises to be another exciting year for Tiger softball. Striving to match a 2009 #1 national ranking, Keylon-Randolph looks to once again make a run at the region and national championships. Fifteen out of the last sixteen years Chattanooga State has won the region championship and under Keylon-Randolph finished as high as 3rd at the national tournament.
With a 2010 preseason national ranking of 7th, pitching will no doubt be a staple of Tiger softball. NJCAA All-American Haley Workman returns along with sophomore Kendall Bruning. Both are highly sought after D-1 recruits. Adrienne Lamberson adds to the pitching mix with a repertoire of pitches that promises to baffle opponents. Whitney Galloway, Leah Kelley, Tabitha McNew, Kaela Jackson and Lauren Stoker form a sophomore nucleus that exhibits the ability and passion necessary to be a Chattanooga State Tiger.
Local standout Laura Curtis anchors the infield at shortstop while newcomers, Kelsey Coombs, Suzanne Neubert, Alex Buffington, Hayley Adkins and Jessica Chaney assuredly will play major roles in the Tigers success.
With year in and year out success, Chattanooga State softball provides opportunity for young ladies to grow and mature in an educational and athletic environment. Motivated by College President, Dr. Jim Catanzaro, Tiger softball is sought out by many of the best student athletes in the country as a place that can be trusted to provide the very best athletic and academic foundation for achievement.
