[Bella Norton @CoachBella42]

I had the privilege of working alongside Jo for two years at Virginia, and I can honestly say there are few people in this profession who care more deeply about doing things the RIGHT way and for the RIGHT reasons.

She led with grace, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to helping our student-athletes grow…not just as players, but as women. She cared deeply about their experience and led with authenticity, compassion, and the highest level of integrity. Her investment didn’t stop with the players, either. She took immense pride in developing her young staff members, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without her belief in me, her mentorship, and the opportunities she gave me.

In a profession where coaches are often criticized and too few people publicly speak up in their defense, I wanted to. I’m incredibly grateful for my time at Virginia, and I’ll always be thankful to Jo for believing in me, challenging me, and giving me my start. 🤍

IMPOSSIBLE to accomplish goals without a support team! My 1/2 Marathon support team was with me every step of the training, the hard, the pain, the “I can’t do it” and waiting as I crossed the finish line!!

With one out and one runner on, @SarahCoonn delivered just the spark Virginia needed, smashing a 2 RBI tying HR.💣

Virginia went on to win the game 6-5 in the bottom of the 8th with a walk-off double from Jade Hylton!

ICYMI, my conversation with fourth-year @SarahCoonn, one of the top returning players for @UVASoftball, which is coming off a historic season. The Hoos open the new season tonight at the Gamecock Invitational in Columbia, S.C.

[Jeff White @JeffWhiteUVa]

A season begins Thursday night for @UVASoftball, which is looking to build on its historic 2024 campaign. The Hoos' veterans include @SarahCoonn, who has started 153 games for @Coach_Jo4444 and is likely to split time at 3b and catcher this spring.
