Seattle U in the News: Why Everett High School Softball Slugger Chose Seattle U

July 20, 2020

Archbishop Murphy High School softball standout Brooke Jordan chose to attend Seattle U in the fall because she likes the university and Coach Geoff Hirai.

The Herald newspaper published a profile today of Archbishop Murphy High School softball hitter Brooke Jordan as she winds up her sports career and heads to Seattle U this fall. Following is an excerpt of a Q&A in the story:

You’re headed to Seattle University. Why did you choose SU?

I chose SU because I always wanted to be close to home, I’m really close with my family. I like the environment there and I like the coach (Geoff Hirai). My thing is hitting, and he’s a really good hitting coach. He didn’t criticize my swing or try to break me down, but he did teach me and help me learn more. That helps a lot. And I just like the school, too.
