When your players ask if we can take the bus to watch the sunrise, you do it. Because it’s those memories they will remember. Not the scores, the batting averages, the strike outs. They’ll remember each other. 💛🖤 #OwnIt

Completely heartbroken. Today I had to look into the eyes of 27 young ladies who have done everything right & tell them they are being punished for something they weren’t even here for. The #NCAA is supposed to be about s/a experience. How is that justice? #OwnIt
