AWESOME Facebook Post from Kylie
"Thank you Virginia Tech Softball for the love and support over the past four years. I’m so thankful to have had the opportunity to play here, a place that gave me room to fail, grow, and become who I am today. Even while facing injury, God stayed faithful every step of the way. Thank you to my parents for being my constant support system, and to my coaches and teammates for pushing me, believing in me, and making these years so special. Forever grateful for this place and the people who made it feel like home."

Most people don't know that Kylie played the last two seasons with a Lisfranc fracture in her foot and she was usually wearing a boot when she was not playing. She also suffered two concussions. But she never complained. She is one tough young lady, and we are so blessed that she's a Hokie!!!!
She will continue to do great things in the game of life!
