The former Wisconsin Softball Gatorade Player of the Year is from Appleton, in northeast Wisconsin. The junior pitcher had a 2.64 ERA in OVC games last year.
If I could play any other sport: “Basketball. I played forward for four years in high school and I like the fast-paced contact.”
Favorite Food: “Fettuccini Alfredo, from Olive Garden. It’s better from Olive Garden.”
Favorite NFL team: “The [Green Bay] Packers. I grew up with them; it’s in my blood. And I hate the Bears.”
Favorite Musical Artist: “Eric Church.”
Pets: “A kitten. His name is Lambeau.” (The Packers play at Lambeau Field, named after Packers co-founder, player and coach Curly Lambeau.)
What I do when I am bored: “I watch Bravo or E! I’m obsessed with any of the ‘Real Housewives’ shows or anything Kardashian.”
Favorite Movie: “Summer Catch. Freddie Prinze, Jr. and Jessica Biel. It’s such a sappy movie, but it’s good.”
Something not many people know about me: “When I was born, my left arm was broken, and that’s the arm I pitch with now. That’s pretty cool. And also, I’m afraid of birds. I watched The Birds when I was little. Hitchcock.”
Favorite Quotation: “Lisa Fernandez (Pitcher for the USA Olympic Softball team) said, ‘Never be satisfied.'”
