The Madison Night Mares are excited to name Lexi Godwin as the Night Mares’ Head Coach. 

Lexi Godwin spent her 2024 season at the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill. In her final season as a Tar Heel, Godwin appeared in 34 games, making 27 starts at both first base and as the designated player.
