SAN MARCOS, Texas – Texas State softball head coach Ricci Woodard announced two additions to the 2019 recruiting class Wednesday.

Both commits hail from Weatherford College, a junior college just outside of Fort Worth, and played for head coach Haylee Williams.

"We are excited to add Eliza and Marisa to our program," Coach Woodard said. "Their excitement to be Bobcats was apparent from the start. Both young ladies will add immediate athleticism and speed to our roster. Eliza will provide depth to our middle in field, while Marisa will compete for a spot in our outfield."
