YESSSS...I have heard my Daughter say a few of those already.....As far as injury...this was her first year and she couldn't play because of an injury. But, every time I talk to her she tells me she loves it...she is living the dream and she would not trade it for the world

My dd attended a top D-II and much of this was the same. However, one major difference was that it was not uncommon for 5 or 10 professors to show up at games. Softball, at her school, has been seen as the sport that is changing the climate of the school. My dd's college professors were the best! All other things applied. BTW, dd was drug tested all the time. As mentioned, having to hold it to get to the trainer's is not fun according to her.
