PARKS ON BRINKMAN - "As a freshman, Courtney showed glimpses of brilliance as a pitcher, outfielder and hitter. A natural athlete, she is like the Energizer Bunny out there. Now that she is a seasoned sophomore, we have extremely high expectations for Courtney. We have been impressed with her focus and quiet confidence on the mound. At the plate, she absolutely lit it up last summer and fall, and we are anxious to see that carry over this spring."
