Princeton qualifies for NCAA tourney vs #4 Florida State
Lisa is a natural to take over for Fran….someday. Unless she does so well that she moves up to an elite team!
Lisa (Sweeney) Van Ackeren, a four-time Patriot League Pitcher of the Year at Lehigh and a New Jersey native, enters her fifth season as Princeton’s head softball coach in 2017.
In her first season, Van Ackeren became the winningest first-year coach in Princeton softball history, finishing at 27-19 and with the best record since the Tigers went 34-19 in 2006. Princeton’s 12-8 Ivy League record in Van Ackeren’s first year was the program’s best since 2008, when the team went 18-2.
Through four seasons, Van Ackeren has a record of 85-97, already the third-winningest coach in program history.
