Sophomore Jessika Anastos, Fort Hays State University softball's first team all-region softball catcher this spring, will not return to the Tiger program.

Head coach Tonja Hadley said today that Anastos' scholarship was not renewed.

"We just felt like it was our best interest to move in a little bit different direction," Hadley said. "It was just about making a decision that was best for the program."

John Anastos, Jessika's father, said his daughter has not yet chosen a school. Anastos returned home Wednesday night. John Anastos cited "irreconcilable differences" between Jessika and Hadley and said "it was not a very good situation."
