Coach Scott Hall: "Loren is pure power at the plate. My eyes opened wide when she came to our camp and I saw this lefty step in the cage. Loren has continued to develop her swing and improve with every rep. She is a quiet player that has a lot to say with her bat. Loren has worked hard in the classroom and truly wanted to be a Bulldog from the first time she came on campus. We look for her to play some corner for us and push our returners at the plate."
