WASHINGTON – Head Coach Shane Winkler has announced that Gabby Polsky and Taylor Puig have signed National Letters of Intent to join GW softball for the 2022 season.
Polsky hails from Cornelius, N.C., where she's enjoyed a standout prep career at the Cannon School. Puig is a local product out of Riverbend High School in Fredericksburg, Va., who will join the infield for the Buff and Blue. Both student-athletes will be first-years next spring.
"I couldn't be more excited to add Gabby and Taylor to our program next year," Winkler said. "They are both perfect fits for the culture we have built here at GW.Â
"We are graduating a lot of talent this year, and the work ethic and overall athleticism these new additions will bring to the program will help keep us in a position to compete for championships for years to come."
