In head coach Kelley Green's seven seasons, she has posted an impressive 139-111 overall mark, and created a perennial Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference power with her Lady Eagle softball squad. LHU has had two 30-win seasons in her tenure, including a record-breaking 2002 when Lock Haven posted a program-best 37 wins.

The 2005 Lady Eagle squad boasted a 35-10 mark and the first PSAC West title for LHU since the 1988 season. The Haven was 17-1 in conference play and defended home Lawrence Field to the tune of a 10-0 mark ... LHU earned a berth in both the PSAC and NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional tournaments. The Lady Eagles hit .332 as a squad last season, scoring 263 runs, both school bests. The 2005 team also set school marks in hits (400), doubles (84), home runs (28), extra-base hits (127), RBI (244) and sac bunts (85), making it one of the most successful seasons in LHU history.

In 2004, the Lady Eagles had a 14-win turnaround from the previous season, working their way to a 27-17 mark, the second 20-win season under Green. The team also had a 16-4 PSAC West ledger, good for second place in the division. Four Lady Eagles earned all-conference honors.

In 2002, Green took the Lady Eagles to the NCAA Division II Mid-Atlantic Region finals, the PSAC tournament, and wrapped up the year with a school-record 37 wins. Six Lady Eagles earned All-PSAC honors and one went on to garner LHU's first-ever All-America award.  Coach Green was named PSAC West Coach of the Year, and both Green and then assistant coach Leslie Moore earned the NFCA Division II Regional Coaching Staff of the Year award.

Prior to coming to Lock Haven, Green spent two seasons playing for the Virginia Roadsters, a team in the Women's Professional Softball League. 

Green also served two seasons as an assistant coach for the women's softball team at Penn State University from 1996-98, where she was an integral part of the Lady Lions' success and assisted in all facets of the program.

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 single season and career records in hits with 68 in 1994 and a four-year total of 215 safeties.  She also ranks among the top four in several other career and single season major offensive categories, including doubles, RBIs, and batting average.  In 1996, Green received the Northwestern Outstanding Senior Athlete Award, and also earned her bachelor's degree in education and social policy.
