Quoting Coach Larabee
"Our staff is super excited about adding Ella to our program.  She is a talented two-way player who can pitch consistently in the mid-60's and can change planes very effectively.  Ella is also an outstanding hitter who will compete for a spot in the middle of our lineup. Ella is a fierce competitor and loves to pitch in the big games."
