SEATTLE - Seattle University softball has added talented transfer Kjirstin Hopfer to its 2024 roster, Head Coach Geoff Hirai announced Monday.
"We love being able to bring back great local talent," said Hirai. "KJ is a very versatile player that brings a lot of great energy to our program."
Hopfer returns to the Pacific Northwest after spending two years at University of San Diego, appearing in 29 games with 24 starts. The Olympia, Wash., native recorded multi-hit games against Portland State and South Dakota and logged a career-high five putouts against Cal Poly in 2023.
