Assumption’s Sophia Caudle wins Spotlight Athlete of the Week

DAVENPORT, Iowa (KWQC) - Assumption softball standout Sophia Caudle is the Spotlight Athlete of the Week.

“I’m just so grateful” said Caudle.

“It’s just nice having people that I know like when I’m feeling down on myself like there’s people out there that believe in me and it just makes me feel good” she said.

The sophomore led the MAC this season in hits, steals and batting average.

“She’s a great teammate, always looking out for her teammates, pushing them to be much better athletes” said head coach Tyler Edwards.

“I play this sport because I love it” said Caudle.

“I’m very passionate about it and I just think it’s very fun and like it’s just I have this really high goal and setting standards for myself to go play up at the next level and that’s just you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do to get there” she said.
