Ten years ago, the Huskies won their only Women’s College World Series after a remarkable three-week playoff run, all on the road.
They won because they had Danielle Lawrie, who was the best player in the country, and they won because of players like the team’s other Danielle: Dani Stuart, now Danielle Milanowski, who understood her limited role, didn’t complain and ended up scoring one of the biggest runs of that season.
Lawrie said it didn’t matter if you were a star, starter or reserve. They were in it together and the fact the players remain close after all these years is a reflection of the bond they made.
