I really want to see a tweet that reads: “I’m entering the portal. I want the best chance possible to compete at the WCWS & make life-changing money. Can’t wait to see my options!”

🚨 TRANSFERS/JUCO TRANSFERS 🚨 Who wants to be a part of something special? Winning program ✅ Family Culture ✅ Top Tier Facilities ✅ Countless Degree Programs ✅ Big things are happening at the Hilltop 💙🤍 Contact Coach Mendez Samantha.mendez@ic.edu

Listen… I’m not disagreeing with anyone but, if you think the strike zone is iffy at the DI level… do yourself a favor & go watch any other level of softball (DII, JUCO, NAIA)…. 🫢

FEMALE ATHLETES‼️‼️ Be proud of who you are and the space you take up in sports. There will be people who underestimate you, overlook your work, or question what you bring to the table, but keep showing up anyway. Keep working, keep leading, keep growing, and keep proving to yourself that you belong here. Your impact goes far beyond the game, and the way you carry yourself can inspire the next generation of girls watching you. Keep going, sports needs strong women like you.❤️

Year 2 is officially in the books 💙🤍

Oshkosh got them a good one 🐐

Everyone is a starter. Shoutout to the All-American bench for making an impact 🫡

Congratulations to our very own Alivia Darbe and Cambria Currie for being selected for the STL Regional All-Tournament Team!!

Year 1 coaching✅ No place I’d rather be💙🤍
