WACO, Texas - Baylor softball head coach Glenn Moore announced the signing of two student-athletes to National Letters of Intent here Thursday. With the addition of Jordan Daniels and Tiffany Hartsell, the Lady Bears have inked four student-athletes during the fall signing period.

Hartsell will be a sophomore this spring at Navarro Junior College in Corsicana, Texas. She earned all-region honors as a freshman at Navarro. Hartsell prepped at Poteet High School in Mesquite, Texas, where she earned District 13-4A MVP honors in 2001 and 2002. She was a second-team all-area selection by the Dallas Morning News in 2002 after hitting .541 with five home runs and 36 RBI.

"Tiffany is possibly the top power hitter coming out of the junior college ranks this year," Moore said. "She has a very strong arm with the mentality you want in a catcher. She's a winner."

Daniels is a senior at Tomball [Texas] High School where she competes in track for the Cougars. She plays softball for the Impact Gold travel team. Last year, she was a member of the ASA national qualifier Spring-Klein Sliders, with whom she hit .523 with a .787 on base percentage.

"Jordan is an outstanding student-athlete, and we are very excited about what she brings to the team," Moore said. "She has great defensive skills with great speed. Jordan is a slapper with the ability to hit the long ball. She gives us depth defensively, as well as great bench speed."

Baylor opens its 2004 season Feb. 6-8, hosting Auburn, North Texas, Northwestern State, Pacific and Wichita State for the third-annual Getterman Classic.
