"When I look at Southern Miss softball, I see a great group of young ladies who are focused on building a positive and family oriented culture. When I was younger, I remember going to a Southern Miss softball camp and thought it was awesome! I got a shirt from players and thought that they were celebrities", started Goodman. "Now coming to Southern Miss as the graduate assistant, I want to bring vision to the team. I look at the big picture and know that I have been there and done that. I see my experience and vision an asset for the women to use and build upon."
