Wichita State softball’s head coach Kristi Bredbenner named Lexie Elkins as the next director of operations after former director of operations Nicole Pendley did not return for another season.
Elkins was the former No. 1 overall National Pro Fastpitch draft pick, as well as a three-time NFCA All-American catcher at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and was the 2015 NFCA Diamond Sports Division I Catcher of the Year.
The Victoria, Texas, native began her college career at Texas Tech, before transferring to Louisiana for her sophomore season. At Louisiana, she helped lead the team to the Women’s College World Series.
She competed professionally before announcing her retirement in March of 2017. Following her retirement, Elkins moved to Houston, where she was an assistant coach at the University of Houston for two season.
