Seniors Clare Cox, Mackenzie LaSure and Brianna Armellino’s hard work paid off Saturday with their biggest win of the season, defeating rival Georgia Southern 4-2.
Last season as juniors, Cox, LaSure and Armellino stepped up and took leadership roles on a team with no graduating seniors. Cox and LaSure have served as team captains for the last two seasons.
This season, the team has 13 players on their roster, including five freshman, one of the largest in App State history. All three seniors have had to use the leadership experience they gained last season.
“The younger girls need a lot of leadership and it is really important to be together and rely on each other,” LaSure said.
