Jessica Plue '18 Recruiting Profile

Softball has already taught me so many life lessons such as; teamwork, perseverance, and the importance of communication which is why I would like to continue my softball career at the collegiate level. This past season, I lead my team in all categories, both hitting and fielding, and was named All Division for the “AA” STAC Conference. I also earned MVP from my high school team during the last two seasons. I am looking for a collegiate program that is competitive, passionate, and excels in teamwork which is what made me love the game along with a coach that will continue to push and help me grow even more on and off the field. It is also important that the school has high academic expectations along with my major of interest.
