Maddie Mulhall – Shippensburg University (Softball)
Major: Pre-law
Final list of colleges: Shippensburg, Union University, North Greenville University
Reasons for choosing Shippensburg: “Up until about four months ago, I was going down to a school in Tennessee to play, but the money just didn’t come through. I went to Shippensburg for kind of a spur-of-the-moment showcase. I had a really good showing, and the coach was very interested in me. I’m very excited to play there. They have a great coach, the team is great, and they’re very successful, so it will be good to see where my part lies in there.”
What was the progression that led you to playing collegiate softball? “I’ve played on travel teams since sixth grade, and it’s always the case where you play in these organizations, especially the ones I’ve played on – you weren’t there unless you were planning on playing in college, so that’s always been the dream. It kind of started out as playing Division One, and I had the opportunity to, but I didn’t feel that was fitting for me. I wanted to be a student-athlete first, and I feel that’s very difficult to do that at that level.”
Coach Rich Scott says: “Maddie started for the varsity for four years, beginning as a freshman. She’s very dedicated, very hard working, a team leader. If you go to any softball field and see people there, chances are Maddie is one of them. She loves the sport. She’s very dedicated to her schoolwork also. I always knew she would play at the next level. It was just a matter of where, finding the right spot for her. I’m happy for her that she found the right spot at Shippensburg.”
