Biography

Meet Rylie

What made you choose BVU?

I chose BVU because it was a smaller school, far enough from home but not too far away. Along with allowing me to play softball, BVU offered an education program that got me into the classroom my first semester instead of later in my career!

Describe your pregame ritual.

Every home game a teammate and I will ride to the games together. We will always listen to two specific songs before we get out of the car to go to the dugout.

Who is your favorite BVU professor and why?

My favorite BVU professor is Dr. Dan Strohmyer. He makes classes hands-on instead of just reading from slides or books. There is never a dull moment in his class!
