Why ABAC?: I chose to come to ABAC because it is a great school that is close to home. ABAC has an excellent softball program, one that I have wanted to play for since I moved to Tifton in eighth grade. Playing softball in college has always been a dream of mine, so being able to play for the Fillies is definitely a dream come true. If I had the chance, I would not change my mind about coming to ABAC, it the perfect school for me.”
