Coach Holowaty: "Hopefully, Shane can have a great senior year. He's another transfer who ’s been a role player for us. He is certainly a ballplayer who’s got to step up his senior year. He’ll be a very important cog if he steps up. Right now, he’s one of our starting outfielders, and our leadoff guy. We need him to get on base, and be a smart baserunner and set the table for us."
