CITY (VCSU) – The Valley City State University women’s softball team began to build its 2015-16 recruiting class this week.
Viking head coach Elle Fracker announced that Kadie Anderson, a 5-foot-5 second baseman from Jamestown, N.D., signed a letter of intent to attend VCSU and play for the Vikings next fall. Anderson is in the middle of her senior year at Jamestown High School. She is the daughter of Cory and Kristi Anderson. Her brother Brady currently plays baseball at VCSU.
“Kadie is a great fit for our team and program. Not only does she excel on the field, but in the classroom as well. We are very excited to see what she will add to our team next fall,” Fracker said.
Anderson has started for the Jamestown Blue Jays as a pitcher or infielder since 8th grade and had a .356 batting average last season. She also plays volleyball and basketball for the Blue Jays.
Outside of sports, Anderson is a part of the National Honor Society and carries a 4.0 GPA. Her education plans at VCSU are to major in Health Sciences.
Valley City State University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a conference member of the North Star Athletic Association. Last season, in Fracker’s first year as head coach, the Vikings went 22-21 overall and 10-2 in conference play. With that record, the Vikings were conference champs for the first time since 1990.
