I'm disappointed that we have lost these games but I am not discouraged. We are using these games to get ready for our conference games.

We're losing our ace (Amanda Vaught) after this season. Emily can step right into her role. Amanda won a school record 19 games for us last spring.

Emily has been around our program for the last two to three years and knows what we do. I feel very fortunate that she will play here for two years. She can be an outstanding junior college pitcher.
