PLAYER’S COMMENTS
“… I fell in love with the school my first visit. It’s small and secluded and it just feels like home. Student-wise it’s about the same as the high school which I think is perfect. Obviously softball played a high factor in my decision. I’m super excited to be able to continue playing ball while getting the best possible education.”
“… I am ecstatic for this upcoming season and the opportunity to redeem ourselves after last seasons tough loss. I feel like our team is going to be one of the best prepared teams in the region. We’ve been practicing hard, hitting the weights and getting stronger. I think this season will be one for the books.”
