Lady Gator Macie Murray signs with Lindsey Wilson softball

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Thursday night, Greenwood Lady Gator softball’s Macie Murray signed to continue her softball career at Lindsey Wilson University after her senior season.

“ I’m super excited. All the people that have supported me and loved me throughout my entire career are here to celebrate, and I’m just so grateful for this opportunity,” Murray said.

Murray’s commitment to the Blue Raiders teams her back up with her older sister, Kayden.

Macie’s been the starting catcher for Greenwood since the eighth grade, and through steady improvement she’s become one of the most feared hitters in the box and one of the most feared arms behind the plate.

Murray has a lot of eye-popping stats when looking at her latest season, and even her career as a whole, but the one she takes the most pride in is her batting average, which was a personal best of .453 in 2026.

She excelled last year in the Swamp, being named Greenwood’s 2026 Most Valuable Player amongst many other notable recognitions like the 14th District All-District Team and the 4th Region All-Region Team.

Now in her senior season, Murray and the Lady Gators search for their first state tournament appearance in four seasons.

“I’ve been itching to get back. I cannot wait. State was an amazing experience for Greenwood and our team. Since then we’ve fallen short in region every year, and this year I think we’re gonna have a much better mindset,” Murray said.

“We have just an amazing group of girls that put in so much hard work, so I really think that this is our shot this year.”

After that senior season is over, Murray will be a Blue Raider, and she spoke on what led to that decision.

“The player-first, person-first mindset that they have is really my favorite thing,” Murray said. “They’re also a very strong faith-based school, so I’ve gotten to see a lot of the coaches’ love for Jesus, a lot of the players’ love for Jesus, and it’s just something that I love so much.”
