Every college student remembers the stress of finding the right university to call home for the four years after high school graduation. Add in the commitment of joining an athletic team while searching for the right coach to guide you for those next four years and the college search gets even more stressful.
For App State softball junior starting pitcher Vanessa Ciocatto and sophomore utility player Tiffany Taynor, finding the right connection with a coach became evident when they first met current softball head coach Janice Savage.
Capping a stellar softball career at Delaware State, Savage became an assistant coach for the Hornets from 2006-08 and 2011-12 after brief stints in between with Bowling Green and North Florida.
