Career Stats
Coach Murphy Says: "Alex's ball-off-the-bat speed could be the greatest on the team. She has a knack of getting the barrel of the bat on the ball most of the time. She also has one of the best arms in the infield on the team. If she can continue to improve defensively with her glove, she will be a major contributor to the team in her freshman year."
