The good news about freshmen is there's always room for improvement,

That (championship) opened up a lot of new doors. It was exciting to play in Canada and Spain for the USA Elite Team. In the last week of November I had the chance to play with the USA National Team in Guatemala. Basically, it was the Olympic team. I pitched two and one-half games. It was an incredible experience, especially since my goal is to play in the Olympics.

And Samantha isn't the only one who performed for us as a freshman. (Outfielder) Alessandra Giampaolo is back, too, and you can already see that they, as sophomores, have raised their games a level.

We have a good group back,

(Findlay's) sister (Angela) is coming here next year, so I told Hutch I want to red shirt so I can play with her, too.

It's encouraging news, we're very pleased at the improvement. However, cleaner is not clean enough.
