“The last couple of days have been the toughest of my coaching career. It's been a mixture of disbelief, grief and uncertainty, but I have also been uplifted by the strength and love among all our student-athletes, coaches, support staff and the larger softball community.

@ncaawbb @sportsiren Not acceptable! Stop “talking” about gender equity. Treat all athletes/coaches as athletes/coaches!.

Women work as hard as men! That’s why I’ve joined up @TIAA to fight for equitable retirement. It is unacceptable that on average women will retire with 30% less income than men. My athletes and every woman deserve better. Join me at to close the gap.

No showers, instant replay or rest days, and a deal through 2035 with a stadium too small to hold its exponentially growing fanbase. If this is how the NCAA treats its fastest growing sport, imagine how other women's sports are being held back. My Parting Shot for @OTLonESPN:

Imagine the legacy you could leave if you help grow a program, imagine the leadership and life skills that teaches you, imagine how cool it is to be apart of something bigger than you.
