Capital University

Lindsay Shepherd, a 2008 Capital grad, proved to be one of the best to see the ball field for Capital Softball, as shown by her resume. The 2007 All-American is the only player in program history to win the Adidas/NFCA Golden Shoe Award, which she won in both 2007 and 2008. She is one of the few to be a four-time All-Central Region by the NFCA and a three-time All-OAC First Team selection. Shepherd made her name on the basepaths and still holds the first and second most stolen bases in a single season with 47 and 42, respectively. Elsewhere in the career records, Shepherd sits first in stolen bases with 122, third in hits with 238, fourth in at-bats with 527 and sixth in runs with 129.

Shepherd is now working at Vandalia-Butler schools as a high school teacher and varsity softball and cheer coach. On April 17, 2021, Coach Shepherd picked up her 100th career win at the helm of the Aviator softball program. In addition to her coaching, Shepherd holds a master's degree in special education from Miami University, and she is currently receiving her American Sign Language license to teach ASL this coming school year. She currently resides in her hometown of Englewood, Ohio with her five-year old daughter Addison. She credits Capital as giving her the opportunity to grow and learn in a community that enhances experiences, creates diverse understanding, and provides endless opportunities for all athletes and students.
