Jessie Harper and MaKenna Harper are sisters, but they could not be more different on the diamond.
MaKenna is a speedy, left-handed-hitting outfielder who bats for average. Jessie is a right-handed-hitting shortstop, whose powerful swing has her leading the Pac-12 in homers.
“We’re kind of like exact opposites,” Jessie laughed.
“Even our personalities are on different ends,” MaKenna added.*
So it should come as no surprise that they landed at rival schools. Jessie, a junior, stars for Arizona. MaKenna, a freshman, plays for Arizona State.
“I think that is how it was meant to be,” MaKenna said.
