Wanting Karli here in our program was a no-brainer. She had won a junior college national championship and wanted to compete at the highest level. We loved her personality immediately, as well as her drive. Since she came to Memphis she has worked hard to grow as a pitcher both physically and mentally. She has competed hard and helped us win games and be competitive. I am thankful she chose Memphis and gave us the opportunity to share in her softball experience. As she moves on to begin her career in coaching, we wish her all the best. We will always have her back and will always be a resource for her.Head coach Natalie Poole
