Quote:
"I initially chose Emory for its academic prestige, but
through my years here I have come to love it for the teammates I
get to spend every day with. These are the most intelligent women I
have ever had the honor of playing with, but more than that, each
of them embodies exactly what Emory Softball is about: hard work
and motivation to be not just good, but great--on and off the
field."
