She’s a special, special player. Hope she has a long career in the WNBA.

Congrats Tori. If you have to make any appearances with the other players selected, give Katie Lou an elbow to the throat. We paid for one in Dallas that we didn't get.

21 points behind Tan White for second all-time leading scorer in MSU history. Should pass her in the second round of the NCAAs.

Only 581 behind LaToya, so if Victoria can average about 97 ppg and we make it to the final game, she could pass LaToya.**

Thanks for this info. Nice she's going to achieve such a big milestone in her last or next to last game in Starkville. What a magical season this has been (Tito get me some tissue).

Also makes you realize how good of a player LaToya Thomas was in her day. Still, as far as I know, the only MSU player in any sport to go #1 in a pro draft.

Iyhia Mcmichael went #1 in the 2004 Pro Softball draft

That is some seriously impressive depth of Bulldog knowledge.

Ha!

That was the point that I knew that softball could never win big at MSU. She is the top softball player ever at MSU and one of the three best female athletes ever (LaToya Thomas, Tiffany McWilliams) to ever wear Maroon and White. She was al alternate on the 2004 Olympic team that outscored competition 54-1 (although she probably was good enough to be in Athens, she was a college senior and it was very political - only Cat Osterman got a spot on the team from a college team)

She had a pretty solid team behind her and I think they finished 6th or 7th in the SEC and got put out pretty handily in the regionals. She could steal home from first. Incredible player.

Indeed, I didn't even know women had a pro softball league.

It barely exists still. At one point they had 10 teams. Now its down to 3 American teams, an Aussie team and a Chinese team. The three American teams are in Chicago, Cleveland and the Daytona Beach area.

Major League Baseball subsidizes it or it would have completely folded.
