16 year old junior, Alyssa Lavdis has been playing softball for 7 years. All those years of hard work have paid off in a tremendous way. On September 1st, 12:07 a.m. Alyssa’s coach called her to share some big news. She was recruited to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga to continue her D1 athletic and academic career.
When asked about what she was most excited for, besides playing softball for UTC, she said, “Getting to explore the campus in her free time, and meeting new friends!”.
Alyssa first got into softball, seven years ago, after seeing her sister playing which led into her love for the sport. Alyssa plays for the Ohio Hawks and Madison High School. Her position is pitcher and she is number 24. Alyssa first knew that she wanted to continue playing softball after highschool when she was about 12 years old when she first fell in love with the sport.
Ayssa says, “My most exciting moment from my softball career so far is when my travel team and I won nationals in Georgia this past summer”.
To make sure she’s always in shape and can do her best in softball she makes sure to workout and train during the off season. Alyssa also plays basketball for the school, and like softball, she is an outstanding player! When Alyssa isn’t playing softball or basketball she enjoys shopping, hanging out with her friends, and playing basketball for fun. Congratulations to Alyssa on her recruitment to The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, she is going to be great there!
