During her tenure at Lock Haven University, Green has led the Lady Eagles to national distinction, winning the Division II National Championship in 2009 and 2006 and posting an impressive 346-134 overall mark, making her the winningest coach in LHU softball history.

Green and her assistant, Kelly Shannon were named the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Division II Coaching Staff of the Year. She has had three 30-win seasons in her tenure, including a record-breaking 2006 when Lock Haven posted a program-best 56 wins.
