The next Missouri softball ace is in the making.
Sophomore Cierra Harrison, a Lee’s Summit product, is emerging as one of the Tigers’ next program-changing arms, a title she’s not afraid to live up to.
“I think it (the opportunity to become an ace) means a lot,” Harrison said. “I just have to keep my mind right, stay focused and keep working.”
The second-year Missouri starter continues to attract attention with her dominant effort this season, which has culminated in a 9-1 record and 1.65 earned run average thus far. Harrison has already surpassed several of her individual statistical highs from last season, including wins, complete games and shutouts, in seven fewer appearances.
