Pippin brings championship-level FCSAA experience after competing at Lake Sumter State College from 2020-2023, where she became one of the most accomplished pitchers in program history. A multiple-time All-FCSAA and All-NJCAA Region 8 selection, she earned All-Sun-Lakes Conference First Team honors, was a four-time Region 8 Division II Pitcher of the Week and played a key role in Lake Sumter's program-first Region 8 Championship. As a primary starter and two-way , she handled a true No. 1 workload while also contributing offensively and defensively , developing a strong understanding of pitcher development, game planning, and accountability, and later continued contributing at a high level in 2025 with a 2.83 ERA and seven saves. Her competitive mindset, leadership experience, and ability to connect with players across the board is a valuable addition to a coaching staff focused on development and winning culture.
