Instructor Spotlight: (Girls' Softball Pitching)
Nichole Poore is entering her fourth year as an Assistant Softball Coach at Emory & Henry College. Poore serves as the team’s primary pitching coach.

In 2021, Poore helped the team to its’ highest winning percentage in program history (.763), highest ranking in the NFCA top 25 poll (reaching as high as 9th on two occasions), and deepest postseason run in the NCAA Tournament (T-9). Poore’s pitchers were quite impressive posting a 2.83 ERA as a staff and leading the Old Dominion Conference in Strikeouts per game (7.79).

In 2020, Poore’s pitching staff compiled a team ERA of 2.67 and allowed just two home runs all season. The Wasps led the ODAC with 92 strikeouts in a shortened season due to precautions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Poore is one of the most decorated high school pitchers to ever come out of Southwest Virginia. A standout at Patrick Henry High School, Poore won four-straight Hogoheegee District Tournament titles, three-straight district titles, two Region C Championships, and was VHSL State Runner-up in 2001.

Poore’s high school senior campaign featured more awards as she was district, region, and SWVA player of the year as well VHSL State Pitcher of the Year. Poore was named Smyth County News & Messenger Player of the Year three times. She graduated high school with a miniscule 0.32 ERA over four seasons.

Poore was a four-year letterwinner at UVA-Wise. As a pitcher and All-Appalachian Athletic Conference designated player, Poore helped the team win three NAIA AAC Championships in her four years. In Poore’s senior campaign, the team won the AAC title, the Region XII championship, and went on to compete in the NAIA World Series for the first time in program history.
