Coach King is excited about Kvigne joining the team in the circle next year. "Katie is an elite pitcher. Not only can she throw each of her pitches well, but she also understands how to effectively use each one. She does not just pitch, she thinks. Katie is also a very competitive person. She wants to win at every aspect of life, which is a passion and fire that we are excited to have on this team next year. I cannot wait to coach Katie and see how much she accomplishes here and in life!"
