Coach Hall on Conger: "Hailey just flat competes! College athletics runs in her family, and you can tell when she steps on the field. She has a high motor and loves to go, go, go. A true triple threat at the plate will make her hard to defend in the BIG EAST. A great fit, on and off the field, for Butler! We are excited for what is to come for her as a Dawg!"
