Danielle Lawrie’s competitive drive is second to none, and in 2006 she brought that mindset to the University of Washington with her sights set on breaking numerous pitching records and a National Championship. Lawrie had a 2009 season to remember, and with her parents in the stands she pitched the final out to give the Huskies their first-ever NCAA softball crown. Lawrie continued her dominance in the circle for Team Canada. After a humbling 2008 Olympic experience, she found redemption in the 2020 Olympic games by capturing the bronze medal, displaying perseverance to serve as a role model for her children and the next generation of players.
