Jessica Moore is entering her second year as an assistant coach with the Liberty softball program.
Moore, a Liberty softball standout from 2005-07, returns to her alma mater for the 2010 season after competing for two years for the Washington Glory, a professional fast-pitch organization.
Moore capped off a stellar collegiate career for the Lady Flames atop several program record lists, including career batting average (.419), career runs scored (191) and career home runs (58). Moore also holds the school record for most home runs in a single season, with 21, in 2006. She was named the 2006 and 2007 Big South Player of the Year, and became the first player in program history to garner the honor twice during a career. Moore was also named the VaSID Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007, and was the first player to garner that award twice as well.
After signing with the Glory, Moore recorded 11 hits, 10 RBIs and six home runs in her rookie season, as Washington finished its first year with a 34-10 record en route to the 2007 NPF Championship title. In 2008, Moore finished the year with 18 hits, 13 RBIs and three home runs.
Moore serves as the coaching staff’s hitting specialist, and has drastically improved the team's offense since joining the coaching staff in the fall of 2009.
Moore, who also earned her master’s degree in accounting through Liberty’s distance-learning program, gained coaching experience at Western Branch High School in Chesapeake, Va., in 2008.
