ABOUT IRELAND

NCAA ID: 2402224287 A dynamic infielder from Gainesville High School, Gainesville, VA, Ireland is a cornerstone at 3B and is already a very reliable lockdown MIF at 2B. With a strong, consistent power bat, great defensive prowess, and sharp instincts on the bases, she delivers clutch hits, solid defense, and aggressive base running that energize her team. Ireland is routinely the team leader in Batting Average, Hits, RBI's, and Runs. Ireland’s leadership shines both on and off the field—she takes pride in mentoring younger athletes within her organization and sets the standard for sportsmanship. Off the diamond, Ireland is passionate about giving back, volunteering with non-profits like Morgan’s Message and Must Love Cats Rescue. A math whiz with a keen interest in engineering, she brings the same focus and drive to her academics as she does to her game. Big bat. Big leader. Big future. My goal is to play softball as the highest level while having fun and playing with a group of girls committed to winning and to each other. I work very hard at becoming the best person I can be. I am coachable, hard-working, trust-worthy, and have good sportsmanship. I play for my teammates!
