Lacy Wood is now in her third season on the Colonel softball coaching staff.
Before arriving at EKU, Wood served a year as a volunteer assistant coach at Louisville where she helped the Cardinals capture the Big East championship and advance to the regional finals of the 2012 NCAA tournament. Louisville posted a 55-5 record that year while picking up nine All-Big East selections.
“Lacy’s knowledge of the game, work ethic and energy is a perfect fit for our program,” head coach Jane Worthington said. “She is a great addition and has made a positive difference in our program.”
Prior to entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Wood spent three years as the head softball coach at Presentation Academy (2009-11) in Louisville.
Wood had a stellar collegiate career as a catcher for Louisville from 2003-06. The two-time captain earned all-conference accolades for three consecutive years and was selected as a first team All-American in her senior season.
Wood graduated from UofL in 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
