Kvilhaug on Harris: "Erin is a talented freshman with a great deal of potential. If she works hard and puts her mind to it, she has a good chance at seeing a considerable amount of playing time whether at third base or in the outfield. She tracks the ball well and has experience at all three outfield positions making her a candidate to strengthen what I feel to be one of the critical areas of the field - the last line of defense. She has nice pop in her bat and drives the ball extremely well to all fields."
