I agree. She sometimes seems overlooked with most attention given

To Bree and Mazz, and rightly so. I previously commended her performance against the ‘mighty and powerful’ FSU team. Even though we didn't win, it was evident that Layton was building confidence and performing well on a major stage. This was a valuable experience for a freshman. I'm not as knowledgeable about women's softball as some, but I believed pitching was the biggest uncertainty at the season's start. Now, I feel more optimistic about our prospects with Layton and Bree emerging— our future looks much brighter. Next year could be even more exciting. Mazz, Bree, and Layton. (PS, I don't know much about the other pitchers or our recruiting pipeline.)

To me, "by committee" meant "situational," or to change styles midgame.

This. FSU had short notice to prepare for VT, and you’d bet they were a

Well at the beginning of the year I wasn't getting a big warm and fuzzy...

Great composure for a freshman. We're in good hands.**

Yes tip of the cap. Strong perfomance under big game pressure. Good for her**
