I am happy to announce my commitment to play D1 softball at the University of Evansville. I am so thankful to everyone who helped me along the way, and just as Mator once said, “I knew it! I knowed I made a good choice!” GO ACES 💜🧡 @UEAthletics_SB @Coachmun @softball_il

I am so proud of my @softball_il teammates and I for finishing off our season at the PGF Midwest Regional Championships in Peoria this weekend going 10-2 tying for 5th out of 81 teams, the resiliency through 7 games especially after tragic news is why I love these girls. #boltup
