This program is by far the best thing to have ever happened to me. God always knew I was meant to be here. To my coaches, teammates and every supporter of mine and UNF softball, thank you. Thank you also to the USC fans for the applause, it meant more to me than I can say.
The greatest to ever wear the Osprey blue & gray. Thank you @allisonbenning_ 💙🤍. #BirdsOfClay | @NCAASoftball

I still can’t believe travel ball is done for me, but I wouldn’t have wanted to end it with anyone else. I had the best two years of my life playing for Top Gun and wouldn’t trade any of it. I am so grateful I was able to be a part of this special team. #9 out. @TGA_Turner

i don’t think many people realize how quickly this decision was sprung on all of these athletes. they’re being thrown into the ringer and are just expected to ‘go with the flow’. this decision is completely uprooting their livelihoods. show some compassion and let them speak.
I picked to play in a high level softball conference where being close to home would allow my parents to come watch my games. It’s unfortunate to hear that my senior year I’ll be playing as far as New Jersey-Rutgers as well as other east coast schools.

What a pitching staff! We got two big wins today - MC and Alexa had the EC Bullets tied up in knots for a 6-2 gem. Kassie, KMac, and I combined for a 3-2 win over the OC Batbusters. Kassie set the tone and was great for 3 innings & KMac got the last out with the tying run on 2nd!
