Black Hills State softball and head coach Aubrey Voboril have announced seven signees for the 2023 season.

The seven include three from Colorado, and one each from Nebraska, Wyoming, Nevada, Alaska.

"Our goal was to bring in a versatile and strong group of young women and that is exactly what we did," said Voboril. "Each of them has the ability to step in and make a difference for this program.

"They are obviously successful in their areas but are all more than capable to play the college game in their secondary positions and are strong at the plate as well. All seven play the game hard and we can't wait to see what their future holds here at Black Hills State University."
