During the summer she played for the Alabama Gold. She is also a member of the National Honor Society and the National Spanish Honor Society.

Joining Glynn at UAB are Kate Armstrong, an infielder from Vestavia Hills High School; Alyssa Brown, a catcher/infielder from Alexandria High School and Lauren Webster, a pitcher from Alabama Christian

“The 2009 recruiting class is one that I am extremely excited about,”said UAB head coach Marla Townsend. “These ladies know what it takes to win and they are willing to work hard at UAB to continue their tradition of winning. This class is well-rounded.
