Dixson joins the Seahawks' staff after two seasons as pitching coach at Georgia State. The Panthers posted a 7-16 record during the COVID-19 shortened campaign in 2020 before finishing last year at 16-30.
"Erin is a rising star in the coaching world," Norton said. "She has learned from some of the greats in our game and is now looking to take an already successful pitching staff to championship status."
Under Dixson's tutelage, the Panthers' pitching staff lowered its earned run average from 5.37 in 2019 to 4.40 last year. Sophie Mooney ranked seventh in the Sun Belt Conference with 82 strikeouts, while Emily Buck was the conference leader by conceding just 56 hits in 56.0 innings.
Prior to her time at Georgia State, Dixson spent the 2019 season as the pitching coach at Lamar. The Cardinals posted a 23-34 record, including a 14-13 mark in the Southland Conference.
Aaliyah Ruiz paced the Lamar pitching staff with a 2.30 earned run average in 24 appearances as the Cardinals ranked seventh in the Southland Conference with a 2.99 team ERA.
Dixson, who earned her master's degree in Kinesiology from LSU, served as a graduate manager for two seasons with the Tigers, who reached the NCAA® Women's College World Series in 2017.
A 2015 graduate of Eckerd with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications, Dixson appeared in 52 games for the Tritons from 2014-15 and ranks fourth in program history with a 2.78 earned run average. She also stands ninth on the career list with 113 strikeouts, while her 24 wins in the circle are good for sixth in school history.
The Amherst, N.Y., native also excelled at the plate, hitting .308 with 19 home runs and 62 runs batted in. Her .571 slugging percentage ranks third in Eckerd program history.
Dixson earned Second-Team NFCA All-South Region distinction as a first baseman during her senior season and was a Second-Team All-Sunshine State Conference pick after hitting 11 home runs with 36 runs batted in.
