AIKEN, S.C. – Jaclin Poole has resigned from her position as the head softball coach at USCA.

"Jaclin Poole has made an extraordinary impact on USC Aiken Athletics over the past six years, and we are deeply grateful for her commitment and dedication to our softball program," Director of Athletics Todd Wilkinson stated. 

"Under her leadership, our student-athletes have not only competed at a high level but have also grown as individuals, reflecting the values she instills each day. Beyond the field, Jaclin's service as our Senior Woman Administrator and her guidance of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee have strengthened our entire department and elevated the student-athlete experience. She has been a trusted leader, mentor, and advocate for our campus community. While we will certainly miss her, we are excited for her as she pursues new career opportunities and wish her nothing but continued success in the future."

Poole coached the Pacers for six seasons and led the program to 140 wins. She coached 12 student-athletes that garnered all-PBC honors a total of 17 times. Poole coached the 2026 PBC Freshman of the Year, marking the fourth time in the program's history that a USCA student-athlete garnered the accolade. 

Off the field, Poole had student-athletes pick up 25 PBC all-academic awards. Additionally, she helped USCA gain national attention with the "A Night In Wonderland" event during the 2025 fall semester.

In 2025, USCA softball opened a new era with a multi-million-dollar turf facility. 

A national search to find the next leader of USCA Softball is underway.
