COACH TARR ON FAGALY
"'Hooch' will spend the majority of time for us catching and at the corner infield positions. She brings a significant amount of power to our offensive lineup. With the graduation of Alicia Blake after this season, Hooch's composure behind the plate and presence in the lineup will be a welcome addition to our program."

FAGALY ON WHY WASHINGTON
"The University of Washington has such a beautiful campus and they have the major I am interested in. They also have an awesome softball team and the opportunity to play in the Pac-10 was a big draw for me."

Go Huskies!
