WHY WASHINGTON?

“When I got injured, Washington stuck by my side. They believed in me when I did not believe in myself. I walked in after my injury and had a gut feeling that this is where my next journey had to be. The coaches, the players, and the atmosphere just felt so right to me.”

COACH TARR ON CARLY

“Carly’s ability to command the upper part of the strike zone with velocity is what immediately stands out. She’ll be just our second Husky to come from Idaho, following in the footsteps of Casey Stangel, and she brings with her the strength of a large, supportive family. We’re excited to see how high her ceiling can be as she begins her collegiate journey.”
