The University of Montana softball team has announced the signing of six new players including Tori Lettus of Bothell.

Lettus, who is a senior at Woodinville High, will have the distinction of being the program’s first commitment, and she wasn’t a tough sell. Her dad, Ray, is a Montana native and UM graduate, and her older sister, Sara, is a 2007 graduate of the university who still lives in Missoula.

Western Montana is also home to a number of Lettus’s aunts, uncles and cousins.

“When I start school next fall, it will feel like I’m coming home,” she said.
