(Lock Haven, Pa.) - Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania softball student-athlete Teri Heinbach (Montoursville/Montoursville Area) was awarded Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Western Division Pitcher of the Week honors for the week ending April 9. 

The sophomore right-hander played a major role in helping the Lady Eagles to a 3-1 start in conference competition as they swept Slippery Rock University (3-2, 7-6) and split a pair with Clarion University (8-2, 1-3) last week.  Heinbach went 3-0 from the pitcher’s circle in the campaign, allowing six hits in each of her two complete-game victories.

The Lock Haven softball team is currently 7-15 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC West.

Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania has announced the hiring of Kelley Green as the new head women's softball coach. Green joins the Bald Eagle staff after serving as an assistant coach for the women's softball squad at Penn State University from 1996 to 1998. A professional fastpitch player for the Virginia Roadsters the past two summers, she most recently worked as an administrative assistant at Manpower, Incorporated.

In addition to her coaching and professional experience, Green’s collegiate career was spent at Northwestern University (1992-1996), where she was a three-time All-Big Ten player, and also garnered All-Mideast Region laurels, as well as an A.S.A. third-team All-American certificate in 1995. Green still holds the Northwestern career record for batting average (.325), and also owns the school's single-season marks for batting average (.376), hits (68), and RBI’s (28) at Northwestern. In 1996, Green received the Northwestern Outstanding Senior Athlete Award, and also earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Education and Social Policy.

Green takes over the reigns of the women's softball program following the resignation of nine-year head coach Kim Lindsey, who has taken another position within the Lock Haven athletic department.

Green's wealth of coaching and playing experience will make her a positive contribution to the Lady Eagle program, which finished 14-22 last season.

 Lock Haven University has announced that Head Men’s Basketball Coach Brad Bross and Head Women’s Soccer Coach Liz Driscoll will be leaving their posts in order to accept positions at other schools. In addition, Head Women’s Softball Coach Kim Lindsey has taken another position within the department and will not return to coach the Lady Eagles next season.

Lindsey has been associated with LHU softball for over 15 years, having been the captain of the Lady Eagle squad that finished as the NCAA Division II Runner’s-Up in 1988. The recipient of the Charlotte E. Smith Award that year as the Outstanding Female Athlete at The Haven, Lindsey remained at LHU in 1989 as an assistant coach.

In 1990 Lindsey became the head coach, and since that time has guided the Lady Eagles to a 152-167 mark. In her nine years as head coach, LHU has recorded two 20-win seasons, numerous playoff appearances and a multitude of All-PSAC selections. This past season the team was 14-22 overall, including a 7-13 record in PSAC action. Lindsey will remain involved in athletics at LHU as she takes on other duties within the department.

"Kim has contributed to Lock Haven University in many ways as a student-athlete and as a staff member," says Taylor. "Her decision to leave coaching was not an easy one, but I look forward to working with her in her new role."
