After another outstanding season for Fordham, Jen Mineau will be taking her talents to the next level by trying out for the US National Softball Team. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and there is no doubt that she will take full advantage of it. Mineau is one of the best pitchers in the country and it is nice to see that the rest of the country is taking notice. Perhaps the most remarkable thing of all is that Mineau is just one of three players that do not come from a BCS school.
Regardless of whether she makes the team or not (though she deserves to make it) Mineau has represented the conference well and she will be a better pitcher because of it. This is a great moment for Fordham and Coach Bridget Orchard. Mineau is the 1st Atlantic 10 Player to try out since Brandice Balschmiter did in 2009. Mineau has become well known around the country due to her performances against top teams, which is exactly why teams should schedule tough games.
