🔼  Rise Up. Villanova softball alum Ryan Henry has signed to play professional softball with the New York Rise! The team plays in the Association of Fastpitch Professionals. She got her foot in the door as the organizations digital media coordinator. After catching bullpens, she was the one who got the call when a catcher and power bat was needed.

“It's special to me that I came from a mid-major, all of my teammates are from Power Five schools but I'm proud to be coming from Villanova.”

- Ryan Henry
