As a player at JSU, Sloan was a four-year starter, primarily playing catcher. She was part of teams that captured regular season and conference tournament championships. She was a two-time All-Ohio Valley Conference first team selection. She has also played professional softball the last three summers in Germany.
“It is truly an honor to be chosen as the new head softball coach at Georgia Highlands College,” Sloan said. “Upon stepping on campus for the first time, it instantly felt like home. I am excited to be surrounded by an already outstanding staff.”
Sloan already has a game plan set for her first days on the job.
“I intend on meeting with the team in order to introduce myself and get to know the players,” she said.
“Gaining the trust of the team is my top priority.”
Sloan looks to lead the team in adding even more wins to its record, with the Chargers at 156-111 overall in the past five seasons.
“I am incredibly excited to work with this group of student athletes. I can’t wait to see what this program can accomplish.”
