Though Harvard’s season officially came to a close in May when the squad was knocked out of the NCAA tournament in the regional stage, Lange worked out throughout the summer and during the pre-season to keep her momentum going.
The time and effort she put in over the last months appears to be paying off, according to teammates.
“Kasey has been looking great in the pre-season,” senior pitcher Rachel Brown said. “I hate pitching to her because she’s just dangerous in the batter’s box because of her good eye and quick hands. I have no doubt that she will continue her successful career this year.”
The second-year blues can happen to just about anyone.
But when you’re Kasey Lange, and you’ve been playing like a seasoned veteran since your freshman year, that sophomore season may prove to be far from a slump.
