The Michigan softball program welcomed a large class of seven freshmen in 2015-16. With fall ball and midterm exams now in the book, they are fully settled into life in Ann Arbor. Learn more about the Wolverine newcomers, how they got to Michigan and what they bring on and off the field. MGoBlue.com will introduce a member of the Wolverines' freshman class each week this fall.

Q. What attracted you to the University of Michigan?
A. There is nothing quite like stepping onto the grounds of U-M for the first time. I was simply in awe of everything and knew it was the place I wanted to spend my college years at. From academics to athletics, there is simply no down side to the University of Michigan.
Q. How did you first get involved in softball?
A. I played little league baseball up until I was eight, then switched to softball at age nine.
Q. How has it been getting to know your Wolverine teammates?
A. It's been great, all 23 of these girls have already become a family to me. Whenever any of us have time off or a free day we always spend it with at least one of our teammates.
Q. What do you like about Michigan/Ann Arbor from what you've seen so far?
A. The overall atmosphere of this campus and the people here make it nearly impossible to ever be in a bad mood. This is especially the case on game day in Ann Arbor when there is a home football game, nothing compares to Michigan on game day.
Q. What do you enjoy when you're not play softball?
A. Outside of softball I like to go hiking, spend time with family, eat lots of food and watch Netflix with friends.
