Emily, I'm adding this link for our reference: it looks like various templates for softball-related articles

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Maya Brady
 * Article Evaluation
 * This source is missing a lot of information about Maya's college career and the impacts she has made outside of the sport. The source outlines her statistics following the 2020 season and 2023, but it is missing the 2022 season where she was highly impactful, especially in the Women's College World series. The personal life section is missing information on her family and why they are impactful to both herself, and softball. The citations all work and are reliable considering many of them are coming from pac-12 or NCAA.

Option 2

 * Article title:Sis Bates
 * Article Evaluation:This source does a good job of summarizing the entire career of Sis Bates, but I think it would be beneficial to divide her playing career segment into each year she played at University of Washington. I also would like to include awards she has been given throughout her career. In terms of her professional career, there is a lot of information missing because there is only one sentence. She has been playing professionally for 3 years now so there is a lot of information I can gather from those years. I also want to include her involvement as a coach.

Option 3

 * Article title:Bubba Nickles
 * Article Evaluation:This article is very short and does not include a lot of information. The playing career segment only includes information on where she played college softball rather than the impact she had for UCLA. There is also a ton of information missing on her professional career. I would also like to include a personal life section to address her family.

Option 4

 * Article title:Rachel Garcia
 * Article Evaluation:This article has a lot of information on Rachel's playing career at UCLA, however it is missing information on her high school and club softball statistics leading up to UCLA. I would also like to add more information on her coaching career, specifically the impacts she has had on the program. Adding a section on her professional career would be important too.
