Chestnut Hill, Mass. - Head softball coach Ashley Obrest will welcome three new players to The Heights in 2012-13, as they signed National Letters of Intent, the coach announced on Friday.
Megan Cooley of Mill Creek, Wash., Jessie Daulton of Trabuco Canyon, Calif., and Stephanie Lord of Oak Park, Calif., will become Eagles next season.
"Our 2012 recruiting class will bring speed, athleticism and strong pitching to our program," Obrest said. "We are looking for each of these young ladies to be immediate impact players. Each has competed against the best travel teams in the country and that experience will certainly help improve Boston College softball."
