Economon was a three-time All-American for the Truman softball team and helped lead the team to two regular season and two Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association tournament titles along with four-straight NCAA Division II Regional appearances.
She was the MIAA Freshman of the Year in 2001 and Most Valuable Player in both 2002 and 2003. Economon still holds Truman career records in runs scored, hits, home runs, total bases, runs batted in, and walks and holds single-season records for doubles, home runs, walks, and batting average. The 61 walks issued to her in 2004 are still tops in the MIAA and listed among the most issued in a single season for all of Division II.
As a member of the Bulldogs, the teams she played on went 157-58-1 and she personally hit .431 with 50 home runs, 193 RBIs and had a 52% career on-base percentage in 213 games played and started at shortstop.
Economon was a three-time CoSIDA Academic All-District honoree and was the 2004 Truman Outstanding Female Student-Athlete.
She was the first full-time assistant coach at Truman having served for two years before moving on to New Mexico and Southeast Missouri State as an assistant coach. She became a head coach at Pittsburg State in 2012. She spent five seasons in the dugout for the Gorillas and amassed a 204-131 record with four All-Americans and 37 All-MIAA players.
