Coach Rittman on Alissa Haber:
"Alissa is coming off of an outstanding freshman year. We're looking for her to continue her success both as a hitter and an outfielder. She has great speed and a great arm and will play center field for us again this year. Alissa hits for both power and average and provides a lot of versatility in our lineup. She'll be a huge asset for our program again this year."
