Because of financial reasons, she was eventually given an ultimatum: pick a sport. She chose her first love, softball. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I was little, what made me first fall in love with softball was the excitement of going to the field everyday with my dad,\u201d Maitland said. \u201cThe first ball I hit into the outfield my dad was so proud of me. The feeling of love and support is really what fed into the game for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now the Broward native is excited to get her softball career back on track after the shoulder injury, so she can continue playing collegiately. Maitland has a few colleges considering her and hopes to get an offer at the end of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m trying to go to other places and get a scholarship for softball so hopefully something kicks off there,\u201d Maitland said. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten interest from Webber and St. Thomas University.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being the only sophomore on an 18-player team can be a little odd, but Maitland has already earned respect from her younger teammates. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s an assertive leader,\u201d pitcher Tiffany Dodson said. \u201cWhen she\u2019s out there on the field it feels kind of different cause she\u2019s better experienced.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head coach <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/new-softball-coach-gina-de-aguero-looks-to-continue-the-lady-sharks-history-of-success\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Gina De Aguero<\/span><\/a> believes Maitland\u2019s experience will serve her well in her final season at MDC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s a gamer,\u201d De Aguero said. \u201cWhen she\u2019s going out there and stepping on the mound, she\u2019s going to work hard and be competitive.
