Julia Niepert '19 Recruiting Profile

Hello, I’m Julia!

Sports have always been an essential part of my life. I grew up playing three sports while keeping an A average in school. Despite playing two other sports, I have primarily focused on softball. I started varsity in 5th grade in grade school and have started nearly every game since. My team advanced to state both my 6th and 7th grade years. In high school, we advanced to sectionals, placed first in conference and broke school history in 2016. That same year I was named All-Conference second baseman. In addition to high school ball, I have also played select for Souther Heat, SI Falcons, and STL. Fusion (Green). On all teams we have won a multitude of tournaments. 

As an individual I believe I am a team player. I am able to play any position with the exception of pitcher. Any time the team is in trouble, I am willing to do what my coach asks and understand the choices they make. Whether it’s going to a position I am not used to playing, running for someone, or even going out of the game, I am a dedicated player who does whatever it takes to help the team and win the game.
