Check out our interview with Mackenzie below:
Who has been the biggest influence on your athletic journey? Why?
My dad has been my biggest influence in my athletic journey because he pushes me to always do better and to never quit anything that I have started.
What is your pregame routine?
My pregame routine is telling my dog River goodbye every time I leave the apartment and then just rushing the rest of the time while I'm warming up for the game.
Which of your teammates pushes you to be your best?
My best friend and teammate Alana pushes me to be the best I can be. But also my teammate Rachel pushes me to be a better pitcher. She tries to correct anything that she see I am doing wrong and it truly helps with my overall pitching.
What's your favorite thing about being on this team so far?
Everyone is always encouraging you and pushing you to be the best you can be. Every single person on our team is genuinely such a kind person.
If you weren't playing your current sport, which sport would you try?
Tennis, I played it in high school and it was actually really fun.
Where would you go on your dream vacation?
Turks and Caicos.
What do you hope to do after Pitt?
I really don't know what I want to do yet besides have a good career, get married, and have children later in my life.
