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."
