Briar Cliff head softball coach Erin Bly has announced the signing of Ali Naumann and Karis Gifford to the 2023 softball squad. Naumann will join the Cliff as a transfer from Dyersburg State, while Gifford is transferring from Iowa Western.
 
“We could not be more excited to sign Ali and Karis to the program, both are tremendous people and will make an immediate impact on our program,” said Bly. “I look forward to watching all the great things these young ladies will accomplish here.
  
Naumann played in the outfield for the Eagles and batted .358 during her freshman year at Dyersburg State with 14 doubles and 34 RBIS. Naumann was all-state, all-metro and player of the year for Tipton-Rosemark high school and was a member Phi theta Kappa for Dyersburg. 
 
Gifford was also an outfielder for the Reivers and hit a team leading .450 with a .511 on base percentage. She had 91 hits, 7 doubles, and 7 triples during her freshman campaign. Gifford also garnered all-region accolades for the Reivers and all-state honors for Lincoln Southeast. 
 
“I could not be happier with how our 2023 squad is shaping up,” said Bly. “Our program has been in rebuild mode for a few years, and I am really looking forward to seeing what all these young ladies can do this year in the GPAC. Along with our talented newcomers and battle-tested returners, I think this team can make some very special things happen this season!”
