Walk-On becomes impact player for Lady Toppers

Exceeding Expectations

After taking a year off from college softball, junior Taylor Proctor returned to the scene at WKU expecting little play time, but she found herself pleasantly surprised by this season’s outcome.

Proctor, originally from Bowling Green, contacted WKU softball Head Coach Amy Tudor last summer and asked if she could walk on for summer tryouts.

Proctor had returned to Bowling Green one year after playing college ball for Lindsey Wilson College. She was asked by her friend Kathryn Downing to try out to be a Lady Topper after the team lost several mature players the previous season.
