“Debbie Nelson and I are incredibly excited to name Lizzy Vaughn as our 12u Coach. Lizzy is an exceptional Division 1 Athlete and Scholar returning home from the College of Charleston where she received first-team All-CAA honors and was chosen as the CAA Defensive Player of the Year.” Vaughn was also a member of the NFCA All-Mid Atlantic Region third team after batting .369 with 20 extra base hits. Vaughn had a stellar .967 fielding percentage at shortstop this season and broke the College of Charleston career record for assists with 488. Lizzy was a standout at Union Mine High School where she played four years of softball, won the Sierra Valley Conference Championship her freshman year, was named All-SVC sophomore through senior years and set school records for highest batting average, on-base percentage, runs, hits, doubles, triples and stolen bases.

There is no doubt we will produce an exceptional team.”
“I can not think of a finer mentors and coaches for your ladies who desire to play softball in college than Lizzy Vaughn and Jenny Topping and Debbie Nelson. To work with former D1 coaches, an Olympic Hall of Fame player, and Lizzy. That is very special. Few people really sit back and realize how much knowledge and talent Debbie Nelson and Jenny Topping have but adding an exceptional Coach and D1 player like Lizzy is phenomenal. This is a great example of the type of outstanding coaches that lead our players on the field and the reason why our results are exceptional.”
