WASHINGTON - The Georgetown University softball team welcomed five incoming freshmen to the class of 2029. The high school seniors signed their athletic scholarship agreements this week to officially declare their intention to attend and play softball for the Hoyas in 2025.

HEAD COACH PATRICIA CONLAN

"Congratulations to Devyn, Allison, Cate, Taylor and Hanna-Mae on signing with the Hoyas. I am excited to welcome these incredible young women and their families to the Hilltop. The 2025 class includes two catcher/utility players, two pitchers and a middle infielder that will bring depth to key positions on the field.  Collectively, this diverse group of student-athletes will bring positive energy, athleticism and competitive attitudes to our team. I can't wait to see their excellence in the classroom and their contribution on the field over the next four years."
