IN FOCUS: SOFTBALL EDITION - SOPHOMORE TAYLOR SLATE
"In Focus" is a weekly feature on RBCathletics.com that will highlight student-athletes from seven intercollegiate athletic programs that make up "RBC Statesmen"
Each edition, RBC Athletic Communications Assistant chats with selected student-athletes from various programs to get inside their world and let us know a little more about them.
This edition features sophomore Taylor Slate of the softball team. The Emporia, Va., native has played in 29 games in her career at RBC, including averaging a teams-best .464 at the plate during last season campaign to help lead her team to the regular-season championship title.
Slate was a member of the 2014 All-Region X All-Tournament Team, 2014 Region X First Team Utility Player and the 2014 Marucci Elite Hitter for District P all in her first season as a Statesmen.
With the season starting, Slate and her teammates are gearing up for the regular season and Region X play. She was nice enough to take the time out with sports information assistant to give us a little more of an in-depth look at herself.
1. How did you decide RBC was the right place for you?
