Ferris Recruit Vasovski Adjusts To New Position To Help Farmington Hills Harrison

HARRISON- Ferris State University softball recruit Bianca Vasovski is showing her versatility as a player these days for Harrison High School.

Vasovski, a player from Farmington Hills Harrison High School Ferris head coach Keri Becker is high on as part of her recruiting class for the 2010-11 season, is being utilized as a catcher as she has shifted over from perhaps her more natural shortstop position.

Here is an excerpt from a Hometownlife.com story:

Harrison’s best player is senior Bianca Vasovski, who has signed with NCAA Division II Ferris State University of the Great Lakes Conference.

Vasovski, who batted .352 with two home runs and 15 RBI, had been the shortstop, but (Coach Kristen) Zabalavicius moved her to catcher to help the team’s young pitchers.

Her numbers are pretty solid and right in line with what a coach recruiting a college-level student-athlete might expect to see (as far as trying to judge how it will translate to the Division II level).

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.
