From Head Coach Jenny Parsons:
"First and foremost, I want to thank coaches Kayla Lucas and Chris Watford for the work they did in helping to assemble this class. We're excited about our 2021 class; it immediately improves our defense and provides depth at several positions. This class has some athletes that can play multiple positions, along with hitters that can hit for power or average, and we're really looking forward to seeing what impact they have on this team."
