SE SOFTBALL SIGNS DEARMON

Southeast Missouri softball has signed junior-college transfer Ricki DeArmon, a first-team NJCAA All-American, to a letter of intent.

DeArmon, an outfielder from John A. Logan College, was named the MVP of the Great Rivers Athletic Conference as well as the Region 24 MVP. She was also named to her conference's all-academic team.

She batted .445 at Logan.

"I think Ricki will make an immediate impact offensively," said Southeast coach Lana Richmond. "She had an outstanding year and since she is right in our backyard, we wanted her to come to Southeast."
