Shaina Ervin begins her first season on the UNC Greensboro softball coaching staff this year.
A native of
Huntersville, NC, Ervin arrives at UNCG after a stellar career at North Carolina State. Ervin was the first-ever recruit to verbally commit to NC State and helped build the program into an ACC power by leading them to the 2006 ACC Championship in only the program’s third year of existence.
Ervin, the 2006 ACC Tournament MVP, led her team to its first-ever ACC title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. During her career, Ervin carried a 1.81 ERA in over 700 innings and she stands second in program history for wins (55), appearances (124), starts (105), complete games (72), shutouts (19) and strikeouts (704).
Ervin earned first team All-ACC honors in 2006 and was named to the NFCA All-Region second-team in 2005. As a junior, she went undefeated in conference action. In addition, during her freshman season, she tossed back-to-back no-hitters in appearances against Binghamton and Campbell.
She was also a standout in the classroom and was named to the ACC Honor Roll and NC State Dean’s List four times throughout her career. Ervin was also a 2004 NFCA Scholar-Athlete Award Recipient and she received an ACC Postgraduate Scholarship.
Since graduating form NC State, Ervin has entered the professional ranks and spent this summer competing with the Michigan Ice, a professional fastpitch team in Midland, MI.
Her UNCG duties will include primarily working with the Spartan pitching staff and outfield. She will also be involved in most daily operations of the team, including recruiting, monitoring academic progress and assisting in coordination of travel arrangements.
