'I choose Penn State because I loved the college atmosphere.' QUOTING PETRINI ON WHEATLEY
'Jordan continues to be a true student of the game. She learned valuable lessons in her first campaign as a Nittany Lion, only those that can be truly learned through experience. She was able to use that feedback this offseason to fine tune her role on the mound as well as her offensive power in the batter's box. I am looking to Jordan to be a significant contributor in clutch situations on both sides of the ball.'
