Heather Tarr continues to make strong additions to Washington’s 2025 roster through the transfer portal and on Sunday, she earned a commitment from former Oregon State Beavers utility player Charity Sevaaetasi.
Sevaaetasi holds an .880 career OPS with 13 home runs and 45 runs batted in over 105 games of Pac-12 play with the Beavers and brings much-needed experience to the roster. She played both first and third base along with the outfield during her time in Corvallis and should move into a full-time outfield role as she makes her return to Seattle.
The product of Auburn High School in nearby Auburn, Washington will have two years of eligibility remaining due to an injury that kept her out for the latter half of her sophomore season and the entirety of her junior year.
As the Huskies head into the Big Ten, Tarr’s team looks like it will rely on a lot of young talent from the high school ranks in the lineup with sophomore Giselle Alvarez as the only returning starter from last season’s lineup that didn’t either graduate or enter the transfer portal.
Sevaaetasi brings much-needed experience to the roster to help anchor the young lineup, which will also be headlined by incoming transfers Ava Carroll and Riley Peschek, who had a lot of success during their first years of college softball, although it came against a lower level of competition.
