"I could not be more excited about the opportunity here at Stephens. This is just an awesome institution in a great town and offers the best of both worlds for our student athletes. They get a first rate education, the chance to participate in collegiate level athletics, they are able to take advantage of our small class sizes, and get to experience life in an outstanding college town, all while living on a beautiful campus."

"I greatly appreciate the opportunity that Deb Duren and President Libby have given me to lead the Stephens softball program, and I can't wait for the great times that lie ahead"
