| FIRST COLLEGE GAME PITCHED: Lily as a freshman with ice pack on shoulder after a one-hit shutout in five innings versus the Gallaudet Bison on their artificial turf field, Washington, DC, Feb. 23, 2014. |
Non-major courses that I have enjoyed: Acting
What I like most about college: Since Wesley is a small campus, I have become close with a lot of my professors. This makes it easier to talk to them. Also, you see everyone on campus and you really get to know them.
Favorite campus spot: The Den is a great place to see and meet up with people and grab a bite to eat
Things I like to do: Besides playing softball, I mainly just hang out around campus with my roommate or softball teammates.
What I did last summer: Worked as a Guest Services Representative at the Dover Mall and played in a few softball tournaments.
Best Advice I’ve received: “Woooosaahh”. My coach used to say this to me whenever I would get frustrated back in 7th grade, and I still say it to myself if I need confidence or to calm myself down.
 |
| BEFORE & AFTER: Lily discovered a new pitching form this past summer (somewhat, not perfectly, illustrated by the second position above). It is T1ncher Pitching Fluid Dynamics. Pitching coach: Nicole Thomas (Warwick, MD). |
Favorite Team:
LA Dodgers
Favorite Book:
A Stolen Life
Favorite Movie:
Sliver Linings Playbook
Favorite Quote: “Sometimes the only thing in life that's fair is a ball hit between first and third”
Who I would like to invite to dinner: Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun, lead singer and drummer from the band Twenty One Pilots. I listen to these guys every day and especially before every game.
What is most important to me: Family, friends, and, of course, my glove.
