Alaina Jacobson looked at Mizzou as her “dream” school.

She is finding, however, her dreams are coming true in Nashville, Tenn. instead.

Jacobson, a former all-state standout softball pitcher from Crocker High School, spent a long freshman season at the University of Missouri-Columbia before transferring to David Lipscomb University for this past school year.

And at Lipscomb, a small Christian university that is a NCAA Division I program, Jacobson has found both happiness and success.

“This season has definitely been a great season,” said Jacobson, who enjoyed an all-conference sophomore campaign for Lipscomb this past spring. “Coming out of Missouri, you’re kind of broken down when you leave your dream school. But Lipscomb was the place for me to be. I am so happy I went there.”

Jacobson committed to Mizzou during her senior season at Crocker. As a Crocker Lady Lion Jacobson was one of the most heavily recruited softball players in the area and finished as a two-time all-state pitcher.

It simply didn’t work out at Mizzou, however.
