Quote:
"Emory softball is simply another example of how well this
university challenges me as a person. It is a mistaken notion that
intellectual, emotional, and mental growing only takes place in the
classroom because on the field -- again and again -- my coaches and
teammates have demanded new levels of excellence from me. Part of
our philosophy as a team applies to the university's philosophy:
you cannot achieve greatness unless you demand it."
