Stacy Jones joined the softball coaching staff in August of 2016 as an assistant coach specializing in pitching. Jones (nee Jackson) came to Drexel after previously serving as the head softball coach at Hammonton High School in New Jersey. Over her nine years at the helm of the program, she led the Blue Devils to three South Jersey titles and nine conference championships. Jones was named the Philadelphia Inquirer’s High School Softball Coach of the Year in both 2004 and 2005. She also received Coach of the Year honors from the Atlantic City Press in 2004 and the Courier Post in 2008. She was inducted into the Hammonton Hall of Fame as the coach of the 2004 state champion team.

Prior to her stint at Hammonton, Jones was a collegiate pitching coach at St. John’s in 1997 and at Briarcliffe College from 1998 to 2002. Before that, she was a standout pitcher at Hofstra where she set numerous pitching records for the Pride during her time there. At the end of her career, she led Hofstra all-time in wins (96), starts (122), innings pitched (885), strikeouts (638), and no-hitters (6) and still remains in the top-three in each category. She received Regional All-American and All-Conference honors during each of her four years there. The Pride retired her jersey, number 19, in 2009 and then in 2010 she was inducted into Hofstra’s Hall of Fame. After her collegiate career, she went on to play professionally in Italy.

Jones graduated Hofstra in 1995 with a degree in marketing and then went on to earn her master’s degree in education in 1997. In addition to her duties at Drexel, she is also the head coach of the 18U Mystics Gold travel softball team and runs Jackson’s Fastpitch Academy in Sicklerville, N.J.
