of these players, the future of Colorado State softball looks bright.
All four athletes will help us continue to raise the program to another
level. After going head-to-head in the recruiting process with several
top teams in both the Big Ten and Big-12, we feel forturnate to have
signed the players of this calibur. The recuits liked what they saw and
felt the chemistry of the team and the direction of the program here at
Colorado State was right for them. All four are very sound at their
positions and bring a lot of offensive punch and are also great students
in the classroom. Shannon and Renee are big power hitters and Jenna will
add a lot of speed and quickness to the lineup. Kim has shown the
ability to pitch and win at every level. I'm very excited about all four
of these athletes coming to Colorado State."
