COLUMBUS, Miss. -- The Owls softball program has received 27 commitments for the program’s inaugural 2017-2018 season.

These young women will be joining The W from Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina with four representing The W from Columbus. Eighteen of the 27 players will bring previous collegiate playing experience with them.

When asked, Head Coach Tatjana Matthews made the following comments regarding the 2017 recruits, “I couldn’t be more pleased with this recruiting class. Not only do these ladies excel on the field, but they also shine in the classroom and in the community, representing everything we are looking for in an MUW student-athlete. It is not very often that you get to be a first at something in this generation, and they have already set the bar high. I am eager to see these young ladies forge a tradition of excellence that The W can be proud of.”
