DES MOINES, Iowa – The Drake University softball team signed three high school student-athletes, Becca Barnett (Moline, Ill.), Alexia Lara (Bettendorf, Iowa) and Hannah Pals (Des Moines, Iowa) to National Letters of Intent for the 2019 season, head coach Rich Calvert announced on Wednesday.
"We feel the most important aspect in the recruiting process is finding quality student-athletes that represent Drake softball both on-and-off the field," Calvert said. "It is the most versatile class we have ever had in terms of playing different positions. We could train them in the infield, outfield, behind the plate and even in the circle as all of them pitch for their high school teams.
