Southern Miss Home Run Career Record Holder (50)

Personal: Borden is the daughter of Craig and Ruth Borden and is one of four children in her family. Her favorite food is burritos, her favorite TV show is "The Office," and she lists "Hairspray" as her favorite movie. Her hobbies include cooking, reading, and playing pickleball, and her favorite book is "The Help." She has a cat named Kitty and lists her high school coach, Taylor Burt, and her college hitting coach, Aaron Longenecker, as people who have made a difference in her life. Growing up, she was involved in volleyball, basketball, and bowling. Her proudest accomplishment is setting the home run record at Southern Miss. Borden also knows how to juggle and chose to wear No. 43 since it was the first number she wore when she was six years old.
