The Malone University softball program, led by head coach Tenequa Martin, has added two more student-athletes to the squad as transfer students Kari Hall and Katelyn Mann will attend Malone this fall and play for the Pioneers.

Hall, a pitcher from Phoenix, Arizona and a 2012 graduate of Thunderbird High School, comes to Malone after competing at Paradise Valley Community College (AZ).  The 5'7" righthander also played second base and was a four-year letterwinner at Thunderbird, where she holds the career record for most strikeouts.  She also earned Black Canyon Region Player of the Year accolades.

Mann, of Aransas Pass, Texas and a utility infielder who also played some outfield as well, was a three-year letterwinner at Rockport-Fulton High School (TX) where she graduated in 2013.  The 5'6" Mann was named Second Team All District (3^rd base) as a sophomore and then earned First Team All-District (at large) as a junior.  For her senior year, she was named team Offensive Player of the Year and team MVP while also being named to the 2013 South Texas High School All-Star Team as a utility player.  Mann, who finished with a .568 career batting average in high school, comes to Malone after transferring in from the University of Texas at San Antonio.
