Jenna Cone enters her fifth season as an assistant coach for the East Carolina softball team after being named to the position in June 2021.
Cone will transition to her first coaching assignment after closing out an historic playing career for the Colonials, which included becoming the first repeat A-10 Player of the Year in more than two decades after winning the award in both 2019 and 2021. She also earned National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Second-Team All-America honors in 2021 after finishing in the Top 50 nationally in doubles (15), home runs (17), home runs per game (0.35), on-base percentage (0.523), RBIs per game (1.06), slugging percentage (.880), total bases (125) and toughest to strike out (23.7).
“Jenna just finished up one of the best offensive careers in NCAA history while playing at George Washington,” Winkler added. “She's going to be a great addition to our staff while working with our hitters, catchers and infield. She has a bright future in this game, and I couldn't be more excited for her to begin this next chapter in Purple and Gold,”
Cone graduated from George Washington in 2020 with a bachelor’s degree in communication and is currently nearing completion of a master’s in media and strategic communications, also from GW.
