Kvilhaug on Lawrence: "In my mind, Kat came out of high school and travel ball very underrated. Extraordinary ball movement and bulldog mentality are two things that come to mind when describing her. She is coming off a fantastic summer and fall which I believe was just a glimpse of the success she is going to bring to the program. Kat is a freshman that thinks and acts like an upperclassman. I foresee her contributing many innings this season."
