Freshman Jess Mazur, coming all the way from Palatine, Illinois, has gotten off to a solid start as the new right handed pitcher for the Georgia Southern softball team.
Years prior to committing to GS, Mazur got a taste of Eagle Nation while watching her older sister Michelle play for GS softball in the 2014-2017 seasons. Michelle Mazur played at the utility position in her tenure, but she was a dual athlete in high school. She earned all conference honors in swimming.
Jess Mazur was named the 2018 Northwest Female High School Athlete of the Year and set several school records at her alma mater, William Fremd High School, including 34 home runs, 155 RBI, and 318 total bases.
