She took over the program in 2004 and improved the team from two wins in its previous two seasons combined into 17 throughout the next two years. She had four players named All-Conference by the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletics Conference, including the school’s first first-team All-SLIAC pick in three seasons.


Prior to Westminster, Brown served as a graduate intern at the Missouri State High School Activities Association in the summer of 2004 after completing her master’s degree at the University of Central Missouri. She assisted long-time Jennies coach Rhesa Sumrell for two seasons in Warrensburg as CMSU went 69-40 during that period.


In 1999, Brown transferred to Truman State from Culver-Stockton College and was a letter winner on three NCAA regional finalist squads. Brown was used mostly as a utility player and had a career high .313 batting average in 1999 and was second on the team in 2000 with 14 stolen bases in 48 games played.


Brown played high school softball at South Shelby High School in Shelbina, Mo., and is married to her husband, Brian, and has two children, Teryn and Brooks.
