Coach Dabney on Burgess

"Lindsey is the final piece of a very athletic class for us. It was important for our program that we continue to add versatile and athletic kids that can help us at any position. Lindsey fits that mold perfectly. In high school she pitched and was a catcher. For her summer team she caught, played shortstop, third base and first base. With her ability to play multiple positions, I anticipate her pushing for a starting spot immediately.Lindsey's size, athleticism, and power potential will add a new wrinkle to our team,I am really looking forward to seeing how she develops over the next four years here at TSU."
