This year the Vikings Played at home against Lake Forest for softball’s Senior night. The results ended in a split, with the Vikings winning the first game 5-3. Then the second game went an extra inning with both teams having scored 7 runs, but in the 8th inning, Lake Forest took the win. I asked each of the seniors of that night to reflect upon their softball journey. First, I asked them what their advice would be for incoming freshmen, and then next, I asked them what their favorite softball memory was. Here are their responses:
#25 Emilia Jackson: “My words for incoming freshmen are to cherish every moment that their college softball career brings. Sometimes when you have a tough practice, at bat, or game, it’s easy to take softball for granted. But, your college career goes by so quickly, and you’ll miss it when it’s gone! Remember to live in every moment and leave it all on the field every time you step onto the dirt.”

The women’s softball team went head-to-head with St. Norbert in a nail biting turn of events. The Vikings lost their first game 4-9, but pulled out a win against St. Norbert in the second game at 6-5. In the first game the Vikings were winning, but then gave up 7 runs in the 4th inning and were not able to bounce back from that. However, in the second game, the Vikings were leading the majority of the game and it became more consistent. When the Knights tied the game in the bottom of the 5th inning, Lawrence, this time, was able to react to that and pull out another hit in the sixth, where they then held them for two more innings to secure the victory.
