"I think having a successful season is all about winning one pitch at time, no matter what level that you're at," says Nyberg. "Hopefully I can bring some success having had success in the postseason to this team and we can do some great things."

Nyberg's success on the softball field extended back to her time as a student–athlete at Stanford. She was a 2–time Academic All–American® who helped lead Stanford to a third place finish at the College World Series in 2001.
