I-L-L!! 🧡 #committed #B1G I am beyond blessed and excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic journey at the University of Illinois! First and foremost, I want to thank God for His blessings and guidance throughout this journey. Without Him, none of this would be possible. To my family, thank you all for being my foundation. Dad, thank you for the early mornings, long drives, and endless encouragement that built my work ethic and confidence. Mom, thank you for being my #1 fan and teaching me to be strong, resilient, and true to myself. Livvy, thank you for always keeping me smiling and grounded. Papa, thank you for being my biggest supporter and always showing up for me! I love you all so much! Thank you, Coach Tony Rico and Coach Sean Brashear, for believing in me and pushing me to be the best version of myself. Huge thanks to my FC Select Rico/Brashear teammates for always having my back. Coach Dani, thank you for your mentorship and friendship, and to my @Range_Pitching family for helping me grow into a confident, competitive pitcher. Coach Greg, thank you for always supporting my journey! To every coach who’s guided and inspired me along the way, thank you! Each of you has helped shape who I am as both a person and player. Lastly, thank you to the Fighting Illini coaching staff, Coach Perry, Coach V, Coach Goler, and Coach Trout, for believing in me, welcoming me into the FamILLy, and giving me the opportunity to live out my dream of playing Division I softball in the B1G.
