BYU softball: Cougars announce five signees

“Alexis is a determined player,” Eakin said. “She is a very hard worker and when you put that work ethic together with her athleticism and the ability to play multiple positions, she can become a impact player for our program. Her nickname is Pinky but she’s a very tough player. She has no fear and will conquer anything she sets her mind on. She is a great hitter and will help keep our power numbers where they need to be.”

BYU is coming off four-straight conference championships and eight-straight post-season appearances. The team will participate in the Pacific Coast Softball Conference for the 2013 season and then will move to the West Coast Conference for 2014. The Cougars start the 2013 season against Colorado State on Feb. 7 in the Red Desert Classic.
