Podcast with associate head coach Economon
In early July, CC Wong needed a place to finish college softball. Wichita State needed a left-handed hitter.
Wong, transferring from Grand Canyon University, knew about WSU's recent success. WSU associate head coach Elizabeth Economon knew about Wong through a conversation with Chris Berry, Wong's coach at McLennan (Texas) Community College.
"I jumped out of bed when I got the text," Wong said. "I didn't think I would get the opportunity to be at a school like this. Really cool."
With the Shockers opening the season on Friday in the Bearkat Classic in Huntsville, Texas, Wong is locked in as a top-of-the-order hitter and third baseman.
