Coach Mata says: Brittnee hit so good in our
lineup last season and was doing the same this fall prior to re-aggravating a
back injury, that sidelined her for almost the whole fall. She’s rehabilitating it nicely and is
expected to be back full-force this spring, thank goodness. She’s a strong player and a leader that I
rely on. She will have a great senior
year because she has worked so hard and appreciates being out there on the
diamond so much.
