Why Lehigh? “I chose Lehigh for its rigorous academics and the opportunity to play Division I softball.”

On Coach Troyan: “Coach Troyan has high expectations both in the classroom and on the field. He builds an environment that is fun, but also carries a ‘get-the-job-done’ attitude.”

On the Lehigh softball experience: “It means joining a family in which everyone comes together to compete for the same goal, winning. It’s about working as hard as you can a

nd being able to look at the girl standing next to you doing the same thing.”
