Do you have a favorite softball moment?

Felicia: I don’t know if I can pick a moment, but just being able to play with my sister over the years and making it to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament.

Liseth: In my senior year of high school, we were in a “lose or out” game in our district tournament and I hit three home runs in that game and that sent us to the state tournament.

 

What’s your favorite MLB team and what are your predictions for them this season?

Felicia: The San Diego Padres. They’re never that great, but hopefully they can do well.

Liseth: The Seattle Mariners. I’m from Washington, so I have to go with them even if they don’t do well. I hope they do well, though, they’ve started out good.

 

If you weren’t playing softball, what other sport would you play at Fairfield?

Felicia: Basketball or golf. I played basketball in high school, so I always liked that. I think golf would be an interesting sport to try because it’s mental like softball.

Liseth: I always really liked volleyball so I’d probably play volleyball, not that I’d be that good at it. I’m tall, so maybe it could work out.

 

If you could meet any professional athlete, who would it be and why?

Felicia: Probably Derek Jeter, just because I like the way he’s played and the way he’s carried himself.

Liseth: I would meet Russell Wilson, quarterback for the Seahawks. He’s just a really inspiring person and a very good leader. He always dedicates himself to his teammates, his sport and community.

 

What has the team improved upon this season?

Felicia: Just playing well as a team together. There’s a lot more small ball this year than in the past and that’s helped us.

Liseth: We’ve just refocused our energy and tried to keep everything positive. We had a slow start, but we’ve really turned it around by not focusing on the negatives that we started out with.

 

How does the team get along? What’s the chemistry like?

Felicia: We’ve always gotten along well and hang out together outside of softball. There’s always been pretty good team chemistry.

Liseth: It’s really good. We’re all really close and like one big family.

 

How do you think the team will finish this season out?

Felicia: Hopefully by making the MAAC Tournament and winning it.

Liseth: Hopefully as MAAC champions. We’re in first place right now and pretty much guaranteed to go to the tournament.

 

Can you describe your overall experience on the softball team?

Felicia: It’s been a good experience. It’s been fun and I’ve met a lot of friends that hopefully I stay friends with for a while.

Liseth: Overall, it’s been really phenomenal. I’ve been blessed with amazing teammates and good coaches so it’s been a really positive experience.

 

As seniors, what will you miss the most about college softball?

Felicia: Just hanging out with the girls and being with them every day.

Liseth: Just being on the field and being with my teammates every day. Just the whole team atmosphere will be missed.
