Coach Mata says: What a blessing to have this senior transfer come to us. It is amazing how her personality and love for the game has blended in so nicely. If you didn’t know better, you’d think she was a four-year TSU senior, and that’s a huge compliment. Laura will either start in the outfield or up on the infield somewhere, depending on our team’s biggest defensive need, and I know she will be an offensive leader as well.
