On Deck With Hollister:
Why I chose Ferris State: Has a good atmosphere academically and athletically. I enjoy the challenges which Ferris presents and hope to overcome all of them
The thing I like most about Ferris State Softball: The people involved in the program. The team chemistry and friendship are very important to a successful team
When I step on the field I think: work hard and get dirty!! Dive and never give up!
Advice to youngsters: Don't try to be older than you are
My friends tell me I'm: a good listener and a friend
What has been the most thrilling moment of your life outside of sports?: Seeing the Grand Canyon and sliding down a natural rock slide in Arizona
Something unusual about me is that: I'm the only girl in each of my five college classes
I can't live without: my friends and Taco Bell
If I could change one thing about softball: I would paint home plate a bright color so that it would be easier to see for both the players and umpires
My best non-athletic talent is: listening
