First-Year Friday: Chloe Hatzopoulos

I was five years old when I began playing softball. My dad and one of his friends decided to start a t-ball team and thought it would be something fun to try.

The part I enjoy about softball the most is moments like the UNC game. The feeling of success after giving it your all is what we work for every day. Being able to be a part of such a great team has been a dream come true.

Properly managing my time between academics, softball and conditioning. I love the structured environment. It allows me to maximize my time.

The moment I visited Elon, I instantly knew it was where I belong. The softball program, awesome coaching staff and players, small class sizes, great academics and a beautiful campus are all that I need. I love it here at Elon and I am excited to see what is to come in the next three and a half years.

The moment I put on my uniform, everything felt right. I couldn’t imagine wearing any other colors than maroon and gold. Knowing that my collegiate dreams were coming true, was one of the best feelings I’ve ever had.

My biggest goal I hope to achieve at Elon is to become the best teammate I can become and to help this team reach new milestones in every aspect of the sport.
