From the Coach –

"Dallis had a great day at the plate on Sunday and was really seeing the ball well," stated DSU's head softball coach Kristen Fleury. "On the mound, she pitched a great five-innings versus Tabor College with one pitch getting away from her. As a coach, I take full responsibility for that home-run ball and the three earned-runs should be credited to my own stats [Coach Fleury]. I am proud of her as she is always putting in the extra work to be the best she can be – and that shows both on and off the field."
