QUOTING HILL ON PENN STATE
"It's a fun school with great academics."

QUOTING COACH PETRINI ON HILL
"Jackie is a true workhorse. She battled a tough injury last season, but was able to bounce back with sheer guts. When Jackie steps on the mound, she puts the team on her back and gets it done. Her natural leadership ability is something that we had been very excited to see this past season. We are looking forward to a healthy year as I believe the best is yet to come."
