Williams and Huntingdon Softball Program Announce Nine Additions for 2010 Season

MONTGOMERY, Ala. --- Huntingdon College softball head coach Gynger Williams has announced the addition of nine newcomers who have completed their intent to enroll paperwork and have committed to play for the Lady Hawks next spring.

Katelyn Atkins (Elmore, Ala./Stanhope Elmore HS), Melissa Brumfield (OF, Dothan, Ala./Northside Methodist Academy), Brittany Cahoon (INF, Fort Walton Beach, Fla./Choctawhatchee Senior HS), Brittney Calma (INF, Wilsonville, Ala./Cornerstone Christian Academy), Melissa McClure (P, Oakfield, Ga./Deerfield-Windsor Academy), Kristin Moore (MI, Childersburg, Ala./Childersburg HS), Sarah Solomon (P/INF, Athens, Ala./Elkmont HS), Logan Tedder (OF, Haleyville, Ala./Northwest-Shoals CC) and Chasity Ward (Prattville, Ala./Lowndes Academy) have been accepted to Huntingdon and will compete for the Lady Hawks in the upcoming season.

“I am very pleased with the addition of these nine student-athletes to our program,” Williams said. “We went into the offseason looking to get more team speed and add depth to our pitching staff. With this class, we found players that can help us in both aspects. They will all be a great compliment to our returning players.”

The Lady Hawks finished the 2009 season with a 17-22-1 overall record, including an 8-4 mark in the Great South Athletic Conference.
