More on Griffin: Favorite pastime is relaxing on the beach in her hometown with a good book or good company ... Favorite thing about being a UNC student-athlete is "all the interaction with other sports teams and getting to meet many other athletes" ... Started playing softball at age 8 when she signed up with her best friend ... Took dance for nine years ... Will wear jersey No. 3 this season after two years in No. 33 (No. 3 has always been her favorite, but it was worn by Anna Tharrington, who graduated in 2003) ... If she could play another sport at UNC, she'd pick volleyball ... Says the word that best describes her is "determined" and the word that best describes this year's team is "hard-working" ... Best moment of last season was finding out that the team had received a bid to the NCAA Tournament: "We were loading the plane to return from the ACC Tournament and we were all on the phone with our parents to find out who made the field. We all started screaming when we heard UNC announced!" ... Best moment of her athletic career has been signing her letter of intent to play for UNC, because "it's where I've always wanted to be"
