Veteran coach Lindsay Leftwich has been named NC State’s head softball coach, Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan announced today. The fourth coach in Wolfpack program history, she comes to Raleigh after a dozen years as an assistant coach at national powerhouse LSU, where she was involved with all aspects of the program including defense, hitting, recruiting, video scouting and camps.

In her 12 seasons with the Tigers under head coach Beth Torina, Leftwich helped lead the program to four College World Series, including two finals. The Tigers have spent 166 weeks in the top 25, dating back to Leftwich’s first season in Baton Rouge (2012).
