Nakeya L. Hall enters her fourth season as the head softball coach for the Lady Tigers.

Prior to coming to Grambling State University, Hall spent five seasons at Alabama A&M University. Hall sports a 91-172 record after five seasons, including a 22-21 mark last season, the first 20-win season for the program in a decade.

Under Hall, Alabama A&M boasted what was statistically the strongest offense in the SWAC from a power standpoint during the 2018 campaign. Alabama A&M led the league in batting (.297), slugging percentage (.448), runs per game (.593) and home runs (32). This remarkable season earned Hall 2018 SWAC Coach of the Year honors and a share of the Eastern Division Championship.

Hall was an assistant coach at South Carolina State - her alma mater - for four years and, for two seasons, she served as an assistant coach at Winston-Salem State.

From 1999-2003 she was a four-year letter-winner at S.C. State. Hall earned numerous honors including being named the Offensive and Utility Player of the Year as well as being named to several all-tournament team selections. She also earned a MEAC Player of the Week honor during her playing days.

A native of Pittsburg, Calif., Hall earned a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice in 2003, and her master's in rehabilitation counseling.  She is also a graduate of the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy.

Hall is the proud parent of three. She has two beautiful twin girls, Kayleigh and Kalani Hall and her son Princeton.
