CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State softball has completed the coaching staff ahead of the 2026 season, as announced by head coach Laura Berg.
Jenny Topping and Morgan Scott have joined the coaching staff. Scott will make the move from the College of Charleston (S.C.) while Topping joins from Cal State Fullerton.
Topping will make her way to Corvallis after a season with the Titans and carries a decorated resume that includes an Olympic Gold medal (2004) and was a four-time All-American with Fullerton and Washington. During her playing days, she led the Titans to three Big West titles and slashed .443/.573/.771 while holding top-five marks in doubles (44) and home runs (33) in addition to holding seventh place in runs batted in with 128.
After her time as a student-athlete, Topping represented the USA in the 2004 Olympics, a pair of World Championships and Pan-American Games.

In her sole season in South Carolina, Scott directed the Cougars to the Coastal Athletic Association's upper echelon in pitching. The Cougars ranked second in strikeouts (238), fourth in shutouts (7) while allowing among the fewest earned runs (186) in the league. Scott mentored Mackenzie Mathis to three CAA Rookie of the Week nods on the way to second team All-CAA laurels.
Scott is no stranger to the Beaver State, having played for Oregon for two seasons following three at UNCG. In her time as a Duck, she was twice named NFCA All-Region and led the squad with wins in 2024 after being named to the Pac-12's Second Team in 2023. While in North Carolina, she was twice tabbed the Southern Conference's Pitcher of the Year in addition to the league's 2021 Freshman of the Year nod.
