COACHING STAFF |
Kim Borders | Pitching Coach
Kim Dunlap Borders is in her 15th season as an assistant softball coach at Campbellsville University, working primarily with pitchers. Borders is the owner and pitching instructor at BSA Softball Academy in Scottsville, Ky.
Borders has been integral in developing an All Mid-South Conference pitcher in every season since 2011 as the list includes Morgan Gailor, Neely Quint, Victoria Decker, Taylor Wroe, Kelsi Pardue, and Martina Riney. Both Quint and Decker were NAIA All-American selections as Quint earned the honor in 2018 and Decker was a two-time selection in 2015 and 2016.
Since she joined the coaching staff in 2010-11, Borders, Bryce White, and head coach Shannon Wathen have established a solid structure within the softball program as the three have won 370 games the nine-season stretch. Borders has been on the staff for four Mid-South Conference Regular Season Championships, two MSC Tournament Championships, five appearances in the NAIA National Tournament, and an NAIA World Series appearance.
During her playing days, Borders was a four-time high school All-American while leading Ezell Harding Christian School in Nashville, Tenn., to four state championships. She also led her summer team to the ASA 18 National Championship in 1997. In College, she was a two-time All-Region selection at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, while helping the Ragin' Cajuns to four straight NCAA regional appearances. She was named the Sunbelt Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2000 and was a National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) Scholar-Athlete.
Following her collegiate career, she returned to Club K, where she formerly trained 10 years under Cheri Kempf. She instructed and trained hundreds of pitchers over a five-year span before starting BSA.
Borders resides in Scottsville, Ky., with her husband, Spencer. They have three daughters, Taylor, Savannah and Hadley.
Bryce White | Assistant Coach
Bryce White is entering his 14th season with the Campbellsville University Softball team. He returns as the assistant coach after a stint as the head coach of Avila College from 2020-2021.
While working with head coach Shannon Wathen, the 2015 year was one for the books. Having sometimes five freshmen in the starting lineup, CU won their sixth MSC regular season championship, the program's first-ever NAIA Opening Round championship and their first World Series appearance.
In 2018, the Lady Tigers earned their second most wins in a season in program history with 47 after going 47-10 on the year on their way to winning both MSC regular-season and tournament titles. They then went on to the championship game of the NAIA Opening Round -- which the Lady Tigers hosted for the second-straight season. Campbellsville also matched its highest ranking in the NAIA National Poll at No. 4 overall, which they held for most of the season.
The Lady Tigers have had eight NAIA All-Americans, including two-time First-Team honoree Jacqueline Roof and two-time Second-Team recipient Victoria Decker – Tori Humphrey (2018, Second Team; 2017, First Team), Jacqueline Roof (2017, Second Team; 2016, First Team), Victoria Decker (2016 and 2015, Second Team), Brianna Scott (2016, Second Team), and Kristin Benton (2014, Second Team).
A native of Tekonsha, Mich., White played two years of baseball at Kellogg Community College in Battle Creek, Mich., and one year at Olivet College in Olivet, Mich., before finishing his playing career at Campbellsville. He graduated from CU in 2008 with a degree in physical education with a minor in coaching.
