"Riley, Molly and Page will add value to our team in the locker room and on the softball field," said Ward. "They understand what it means to put our team first and they understand how to commit to growth."
Sami says:
"Riley us a versatile athlete that can play both infield and outfield. She loves and thrives playing against the toughest competition. She is intrinsically motivated and is constantly pushing herself to be her best."
In addition to her accomplishments on the field, Grumbo was a three-year WCC All-Academic Team earner and member of the Student Athlete Mentors (S.A.M.) and Student Athlete Advisory Committee (S.A.A.C.).
Sami says:
"We are fortunate to be able to add Molly for her grad year. She has natural leadership abilities; she loves to work and she's committed to being the best she can be. She will help us behind the plate and she adds offense to our lineup."
Sami says:
"Page is one of the most selfless athletes I have met. She works so hard to push herself and those around her. She's a great team player and she will make our program stronger."
Ehlen, Grumbo and Mindedahl will join seven freshmen as newcomers on the Red Raider's 2022 roster. Erna Carlin, Demi Elder, Breanna Hayward, Karson Jennings, Maddie Kuehl and Kaylee Lyon inked their names in November while Ranci Willis signed to play for Tech in April.
