What a weekend! The end of our regular season and we had great weather for playing softball - 87 degrees in Meadville- many would find that hard to believe. We finished up our regular season this past weekend with two home conference games against Kenyon on Saturday followed by a picnic with our families and friends. It was a nice way to unwind and let everyone know how grateful we are for all their support. Our parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters and friends make it easy for us to give everything we have, knowing they are supporting us. The picnic is also to celebrate our seniors. They are beginning a new journey and we wish them well in all they pursue. Liz you have been my right hand support in the outfield for two years and Rachel, this year I have gotten to work beside you in the infield, it was awesome. I will personally miss you both so much.
We ended our regular season with an overall record of 22-16 and a conference record of 9-5.We have again qualified for the conference tournament scheduled to be played at Dennison this weekend. We have worked extremely hard to get to this point. This is the busiest time for all of us, with finishing up classes, getting ready for finals, and preparing for the NCAC tournament.
One thing is certain, we stick together and it helps to all be in the same position. We will support one another and we will pull together to do whatever it takes to get the job done. Those of us who have experienced this for the third or fourth time will be there to help the girls experiencing this for the first time. It is where we all want to be and it means working harder now than we did the entire season, but in the end we will get it done.
Thank you to all who have been at the games and who have sent their well wishes to our team through the season. We hope we have made you proud. GO GATORS! Katie Wills, Junior
