The Wylie softball team recently had two players ink letters-of-intent to compete at the next level.
Outfielder Ella Embry signed to play at Northern Vermont University-Johnson, while second basemen Mikayla Hoffman will be competing at North Central Texas College, the school posted on Facebook.
Embry said making the decision to settle on Northern Vermont was an easy one, though it came down to more than just what could happen on the field.
“I chose Northern Vermont University-Johnson because of the variety of majors and different classes that the institution offers. I really was attracted to the overall atmosphere of the school,” she said in a school press release.
Embry becomes the sixth commitment for Coach Anya Adams, who will be in her first season at the school.
“Ella comes to us as a true utility player and will be able to help us by stepping in at multiple infield and outfield positions,” Adams said. “She has extremely soft hands in the field and the ability to hit for power at the plate. I’m excited that she chose NVU-Johnson as the place to continue her softball career.”
