Coach Lisa Dodd wants SCU softball to set sights set on small victories along the way to big wins.

New head softball coach Lisa Dodd still views the game as a player. She can’t help it. Moments where the crowd is so loud you can’t hear the person next to you, that still gets her excited.

Her aim? Bring that feeling not just to World Series games but conference championships, wins over rivals, even successes in practice. “If you can appreciate the small victories along the way, you can inspire players to want more and be more,” she says.

Dodd comes to SCU from University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where she won 121 games in five years.
