Coach[apos]s Quote:
'Becca will continue to fight for the starting position at second base. She has worked extremely hard in the off-season to become consistent with her offensive game. She is very solid defensively and has a tremendous amount of game savvy. Becca[apos]s game sense provides her with a great advantage, especially when defending the short game.'
