Coach Larson is looking for Nordmeyer to bring a lot to next year's team, "Katelyn has the ability to play any spot on the dirt and play them well. As you have all read, Katelyn also has an extremely hot bat. She is going to add some power and consistency to the middle of the lineup. It will be fun to watch Katelyn play in the blue and gold jersey next year!"
