SOMERS, Wis. (Apr. 21, 2016)-- The University of Wisconsin-Parkside softball program and Head Coach Scott Wachholz announced the signing of Juda High School standout Jessica Crull to a National Letter of Intent.
 
"We're extremely excited to add Jessica to our talented 2016 class," said second-year coach Scott Wachholz. "She's a versatile player with great power to all fields and will definitely give us great looks at a few positions. Jessica has a great tough-minded mentality needed to compete at the high level of the Great Lakes Valley Conference."
 
The Monroe, Wisconsin, native will remain in the Badger State, inking with the Rangers after a standout career with the Juda-Albany co-op team. The five foot, seven inch righthander was a four-year varsity starter for the Panthers, capturing First Team All-Six Rivers Conference accolades in 2015 after earning Honorable Mention All-Conference in 2014. The catcher and third basemen earned All-District, State All-Tournament Team, and Honorable Mention All-State last season, helping the Panthers advance to the WIAA Division 4 State Finals in Madison for the first time in program history.
 
Crull played at the club level for the Stateline Fury and intends to major in sport management.
 
The Rangers (8-37, 5-21 GLVC) cap off the regular season this weekend, traveling to southern Missouri to face Drury University and Missouri University S&T.
