18U Gold Coaching Staff

Head Coach Andy Waskie

Coach Andy has been with the Langhorne Lightning Softball Organization for over 10 years, starting with the In-House program at 6U. Volunteering as an assistant, Andy was immediately “promoted” to Head Coach by former Softball Director Bill Davis and thus the journey began. Andy has coached at every level of the sport from 6U up through 18U Gold. As a Coach in 14U, the Langhorne Lightning won the NSA National Tournament in Owensboro, KY with an undefeated record, the 1st team from Langhorne to do so. In 2022, they finished 7th out of 36 in the extremely competitive USSSA 16U “A” Nationals in Peoria, IL. He has also been an assistant coach on teams that went to Salisbury, MD, Nashville, TN as well as competed in tournaments in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, and Delaware.

Andy was unanimously voted Travel Director of Softball by the Langhorne Athletic Association Board of Directors and has overseen growth from a single travel team in 2018 to 7 as of 2023. “We are extremely proud of our players who took a chance on our program, believed in our core values of Teamwork, Heart and Family, and are providing a foundation for our program for the future.”

Asst Head Coach Scott Molle

Coach Scott joined the Langhorne Lightning as a volunteer in 2021 as a Coach with our 16U team. Coach Andy quickly realized that we needed him with the 18U level and he’s now in his 3rd year with the team. Scott has coached High School softball for several years including presently being an assistant on the Bensalem Owls staff. Coach Scott is our Bench/1B Coach and aids in gameday preparation and recruitment.

Asst Coach Shannon Molle

Coach Shannon is in her second season with the Langhorne Lightning 18U Gold. She is a former player at Neshaminy High School and is our gameday Statistician and Analyst. She also is our team’s Financial Director.

Asst Coach Francesca Pugliesie

“Coach Frankie” is in her second year with the Langhorne Lightning Organization. She played college softball for The College of New Jersey from 2016-2019 for the esteemed Sally Miller, the winningest Coach in Division III Softball history. Francesca played Outfield and was a valuable resource as a Pinch-Hitter and Pinch Runner for Coach Miller during her 4 years. She has brought a unique view of the game to the Langhorne Lightning 18U Gold and we’re eager to learn more from her in 2023 and beyond.

Asst Coach Madison Croushore

Coach Madison is a former Langhorne Lightning player, presently rostered with Bucks County Community College Softball who came to us in the Fall on 2022 as an assistant coach. Madison is an integral component of our Coaching Staff as a player who’s near the same age as most of our current Roster and who provides valuable insight into college that is easily relatable.
