during
the tournament. On the season Katie was 18-1 with an earned
run average of .73. Christian also recorded 106 strikeouts,
4 saves and threw 9 complete games including 4 shut outs
this season. For her accomplishments Katie was selected to
the All-Conference, All-State, and All-Tournament teams

same teams in 2006 as a sophomore. During the past three
season’s Katie has posted an impressive 46-6 record while
logging 367 innings and an E.R.A. under 1.0.
“Katie
will be a great addition to our program she has had
tremendous success the past three seasons, we expect Katie
to be a vital part of your future success. I am very
pleased that we were able to sign Katie as her final
decision came down to us and Mankato State
(Mankato
is a NCAA D-II
program
that was 45-15 last season). Katie is a very
talented young lady not only on the field but in the
classroom as well; during her career she has posted a 3.5
GPA and will be majoring in Exercise Science when she
attends Dakota State.” Stated head coach Ken Prorok.

the 2007-08 seasons the Trojans will play 11 games against
