The Hannibal-LaGrange College department of athletics announced the recent signing of Patricia Pfeffer to the HLG Lady Trojans softball team.

"We are very excited about having Patricia join us for next season," said HLG softball coach Dan Hurst. "She is an outstanding player, a very good student, and a great young lady. Her pitching skills will allow her make an immediate contribution to our program. As she becomes more familiar with the college level I see her being very successful. Our team for next season looks very promising and the addition of a quality player like Patricia gives us reassurance that HLG softball is ready to challenge the top teams in the conference."
