On the senior class…
"I want to thank Makinzy (Herzog) for making the decision to come and be an Aggie. Makinzy came to us as one of those prototypical pitcher-hitters that we've had in our program and have been so successful. I appreciate her and wish her all the best."
"We always use the word 'professional' when we refer to Morgan (Smith) – whether it's softball, school or business off the field. She's a pleasure to work with and I'm so proud of how hard she's worked and the progress she's made over the years."
"I am so proud of the woman and teammate Haley (Lee) has become and her personal growth has been astounding. Haley's play on the field speaks for itself. I appreciate her attitude and her fun personality. It's always fun to come to the ballpark and hangout with Haley."

The Aggies and the Razorbacks conclude the three-game series on Sunday at noon.
