"Haley was a four-time captain at Coastal and that stood out to me even more than her personal accolades," said Hardy. "It is extremely clear that her coaches and teammates think a lot of her and her leadership. After working together during these first few weeks of fall ball, I am confident that she has already made a positive impact on our program."
