(Tuesday, January 16; Sioux Center, Iowa) Kyleigh Reiter, a senior at Madison Comprehensive High School (Ohio), has announced her intention to attend Dordt and join the Defender softball program.  

Reiter played in 24 games in Spring 2023 and had a .526 batting average with a .718 slugging percentage with 41 hits, nine doubles, three homeruns and 35 runs batted in. She was a first-team all-district selection and earned second-team all-conference honors twice during her career.

Kyleigh is the daughter of Fred and Mindi Reiter of Mansfield, Ohio. She plans to study agriculture.
