After an outstanding two-year career as a player, former Emory
hurler Shanon Andersen joined the Emory staff as an assistant coach
in the 2009-10 school year.
Andersen closed out her career ranked prominently in numerous Emory
categories. She compiled a won-lost record 38-15, with
her victory total fourth on the school's all-time chart. The
school's all-time leader with 445 strikeouts, she fanned 10 or
more batters a total of 20 times. Her ERA of 1.07 ranked
second only to Christine O'Brien's (2002-05) 0.97 on Emory's career
ladder and she holds down the No. 1 spot on the school's all-time
list for most strikeouts per game (7 inn.) with an 8.96 per-game
effort. Andersen claimed the top two school seasonal
marks in strikeouts (230 in 2008 & 215 in 2009).
During the 2008 season she finished 22nd among all D-III
hurlers with a 9.0 strikeouts per game effort. A durable
performer, she tossed 178 innings, the second-highest school
seasonal mark, and fashioned an ERA of 1.10 that paced all UAA
pitchers and ranked 17th nationally.
As a senior in 2009, she fashioned a won-lost effort of 17-9 with
her 34 appearances on the mound, tying for the top spot on Emory's
seasonal ladder. She was chosen to the All-Atlantic Region
Third Team and was a second team pick to the All-UAA
Team. She averaged 8.87 strikeouts per game (7 inn.), second on
Emory's seasonal list.
