• 1:02
  Speaker 1: to state? Fugut, It's so wild to have had that
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: opportunity even just once in a lifetime, but twice. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: am so lucky and so grateful for everything Panther Softball
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: has given me in just my first two years. Your
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: team started zero four. I know it was early, but
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: was there any doubts? How has the team come together?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Since Fugut We lost a lot of seniors, so it
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: was definitely something we had to build because it was
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a whole new team. There were expectations and nerves that
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: we needed to shake off. But once we found our
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: groove and how to fight for each other, there was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: no stopping us. Do you look at your role in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the lineup any different this year? So many seniors last year,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: younger team this year, Fuget, My role in the lineup
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: is the same as a leadoff hitter. I'm putting pressure
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: on the defense, but not trying to do too much.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The mindset, though, has definitely changed. Last year, I was
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: just the baby on the team. I just needed to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: get on base, so Kia Chavez it hit me in
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: this year, I have enjoyed stepping into a leadership role
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and taking control during my bat bats. Have you been
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: timed to first base running, Fugitt, Yes. I went to
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: a Notre Dame camp this past year and coach Pooch
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: time two point five two seconds home to first. Do
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you have any softball superstitions? Fuget Haha, Yes, so many.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I love this question because Panther Softball, including our coaches,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: are crazy when it comes to superstitions. I believe more
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in trusting God's plan, but I also think that a
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: routine helps your mind stay calm in high pressure situations.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I always wear my Bible Verse bracelets and pray before
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the game. But a fun superstition I've had this year
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: is me and my best friend and beast of a catcher,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Peyton Hatzinger, have ice cream at my house on game days.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Do you watch college softball, and if so, is there

  Speaker 1: a high level. My first camp was Tennessee, and I
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: really fell in love with Rocky Top. As for a

  Speaker 1: dugout when I'm up to at bat and it's for

  Speaker 1: What's the TV show maker you could binge, fuget. TV
