Coach Smith says, [quote]We are looking at Jessica to anchor our infield this season. She is able to stop any ball that hits the dirt on her side of second base and has arm to complete the tough plays in the hole. Jessica will also be a high RBI producer for us with her ability to hit the long ball and stretch opposing defenses with her deceptive speed.[quote]
