COACH TARR ON WRIGHT
"Ever since we've known Shawna Wright, we've wanted her to be a part of Husky softball. Shawna can catch and play the infield corner positions. Her power at the plate will be noticed immediately as we will see a lot of balls land in the lake off her bat."

WRIGHT ON WHY WASHINGTON
"I chose the University of Washington because I want to compete at the highest level on the field and in the classroom and Washington gives me a great opportunity to accomplish that. In my next four years at Washington, I want to earn a degree from a nationally ranked university and win a National Championship every year."

Go Huskies!
