The 2014 National Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association Division II National Assistant Coach of the Year comes to the Enchanted Valley after spending the past four seasons as an assistant coach at Peach Belt Conference-foe Georgia College.


During her stay in Milledgeville, the Bobcats posted a 143-68 mark and were ranked as high as No. 6 in the NFCA national rankings. Lucas helped the Bobcats qualify for the NCAA Division II national tournament the past three seasons, including the 2015 NCAA Southeast Regional No. 2 title and a berth in the institution’s first NCAA Super Regional.


As well as doing position work and working with hitters, Lucas served as the team’s speed and agility coach. In just four years, the Bobcats racked up 442 stolen bases and led the Peach Belt in stolen bases three times.


Lucas played college softball all four years, while receiving NAIA, NCCAA, and NFCA All-American honors in 2010 and 2011. She led Central Baptist College to the NCCAA National Championship in 2010 and was named to the all-region and all-tournament teams in 2010 and 2011 as well.
