What it means to play for USA Softball: "It's a dream come true. I get to play alongside the best players in the world and continue to learn so much every single day."

What she loves about softball: "It's a game of failure. It forces you to compete not only physically, but mentally. You have to win the battle in between your ears in order to win the battle between the lines."
