""Alexia is the ultimate team player," Richardson said. "She is a born leader who leads by example.  She is an impact player with great presence on the field; both on offense and defense.  But what separates her from so many others is her passion for the sport.  When you watch Alexia in practice or in games, it is evident that she has the drive and commitment to be the best that she can be in everything she does.  Even though catching is her primary position, she has the God-given skills to play any infield position. Behind the plate, she has a strong presence, an ability to call pitches and maintains a good rapport with her pitchers. From the first time I saw Alexia at 10 years of age, I knew she had star qualities."... Coach Richardson
