Ferris Recruit Vasovski Showcases Her Hitting Potential

Bianca Vasovski, a prep standout for Farmington Hills Harrison High School in the Detroit area, is a future Ferris State softball player who sounds legit on the diamond.

Vasovski, joining the Bulldogs after being recruited by Ferris head coach Keri Becker's staff at Ferris, had a great finish to her prep career.

Here is an excerpt from a story published by Hometownlife.com:

Vasovski hit a grand slam in the first game of a doubleheader win over Ann Arbor Huron Wednesday, 14-3.

“It was Senior Night and we took some time to honor Bianca,” Harrison coach Kristen Zabalavicius said. “She actually honored herself with the grand slam home run. That was pretty cool!”

Vasovski, who has accepted a scholarship offer from Ferris State University, has been a four-year starter for the Hawks.

The Bulldogs will be looking forward to her suiting up and swinging that productive bat for Ferris in the years to come. Vasovski joins a solid returning nucleus for the Bulldogs, a group that includes a strong 2010 freshman class and a good recruiting class for 2011.

Bulldogs Add Vasovski And Wittman To Recruiting Class For 2010

BIG RAPIDS - Ferris State University softball head coach Keri Becker was looking to strengthen her outfield and add versatility on the infield.

With the signings of Bianca Vasovski, a native of Farmington Hills, in the Detroit area, and Emily "Alex" Wittman, a native of St. Joseph, Becker was 2-for-2. In signings announced earlier, by Coach Becker, Ferris had already secured commitments from a pair of pitchers in Cara DeLange and Amy Dunleavy.

"I'm pleased again with another standout recruiting class," Becker said. "We needed to go find pitching, outfield and a utility player. We did just that with four outstanding people. Both Bianca and Alex bring a great deal of athleticism to the middle infield and outfield, respectively. They along with Amy and Cara will help us maintain the great competitive tradition of Ferris State Softball."

Becker, who has a long history of building strong college softball teams, feels Ferris has attracted a very good recruiting class to keep that tradition of good softball going.

Vasovski drew high praise from Becker who feels the Harrison High School standout can play just about anywhere in the field, is a hard-nosed defensive player and has the ability to swing a powerful bat. In Wittman, Ferris has a find in the outfield. College coaches are constantly on the lookout for speedy and capable outfielders and the Bulldogs feel they have found that in Wittman.
