Mary Ellyn Hickey '26 Recruiting Profile

Hello.  I am your catcher/utility player, Mary Ellyn Hickey, out of Hartsville, South Carolina.  I have high expectations on the field and in the classroom. In athletics, my primary goal is to lead the team and motivate them to become their best.  Every time I step on the field, I want our team to win and hard work pays off so naturally my work ethic is to be the first on the field and the last to leave.  I play for both a high school team, Hartsville High School, and a travel team, Carolina Elite - Cox.  In my free time, I volunteer to give back to the community and provide the younger generation of softball players with a good role model.  Academically, I participate in the International Baccalaureate magnet program, honors classes and the National Honor Society. I use my commitment, discipline and time management skills to achieve high GPA goals for securing scholarships and reducing the financial burden of expenses.
