Ashleigh Hughes '21 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a senior at Bellingham High School in Massachusetts where I will be graduating in 2021. I play winter track and varsity softball and soccer for my school.

In college, I wish to play softball because that is the sport I am most passionate about because it is fun and very competitive. From batting to fielding, I have loved softball ever since I started when I was 5. I believe I am a unique player for many reasons; one being that I am a slapper with fast speed and smart base-running. I have been slapping for over 7 years and play all positions in the outfield while commonly playing center field. 

For my studies in college, I am extremely interested in Science with a focus on Psychology. In school, I am in Honors and AP classes and play trumpet for my school band. I am a solid “A” student and strive to do my best in each class. For hobbies, I am an avid reader, write short poems, and knit crafts. I also am in the National Honor Society where I volunteer to help the community at school and church.

By having the honor of gaining an education at a great college while also playing softball, I could help out the team, grow from the leadership of the coaching staff each day, and create a great environment for myself in college.
