Coach Kee on Hayter: "Kay Kay has a way of always being on base. Her speed and utilization of drag bunts, power slaps and soft slaps, make her a tough out. Her athleticism and up-side will be nice to foster."

Why Ki'Audra chose North Texas: "One of the main reasons I chose the University of North Texas was because of the fashion in which the coaching staff recruited me. Coach Kee introduced herself in a very comforting and pleasing manner. I believe that her and her staff included are great people, and they made me feel right at home. I felt like Coach Kee and I bonded from the start. She seemed to take the game of softball seriously, which is something I need. She is a hard working coach that is dedicated to the game and I feel like she will bring out the best in me. In addition, the campus is really nice and includes the field of study that I plan to major in. It's also not too far from my hometown; my family and I are very pleased with the distance factor. I really believe that North Texas will be a great fit for me!"
