UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Penn State softball will travel to Gulf Shores, Alabama to compete in the Sand Dollar Classic to open its season this weekend. The Nittany Lions will play five games over the course of the three-day tournament, including doubleheaders on both Friday and Saturday.
Friday afternoon's season-opening matchup against No. 15 Ole Miss comes with an increased sense of importance for one Nittany Lion. Sophomore catcher Kennedy Legg will not only be playing in her first game for the Blue and White, but she will be doing so against her former team.
Legg, who committed to play for the Rebels coming out of high school in Keller, Texas, made the decision to transfer to Penn State after her freshman year.
