Kvilhaug on Lawrence: "Kat received a tremendous amount of experience last year as our go-to pitcher, and this season, I think she'll only get better. Kat is super competitive, thrives under pressure and wants the ball in the big games - a great combination for a pitcher. The break on her pitches and ability to change speeds and planes so well makes her extremely difficult to hit."
