  • Lady Wolves Set High Goals for Season W Morgan Quilici W Staff Writer
    pagethirteen SP RTS Lady Wolves set high goals for season w Morgan Quilici w Staff Writer Softball head coach Steve Ramseyer hopes for improvement as the softball team heads into the second half of their season with a record of 8-7 (2-1 CSL). “We are just trying to put together a full game, game in and game out, with good pitching, good hitting and good defense,” Ramseyer said. The team has had strong defense in their last few games but needs to work on getting players around the bases. In the game against New Trier, the Lady Wolves battled out in a 13-inning game. The girls needed to stop playing the game because it had become to dark. It will be continued on another day to determine a winner. Strong plays in the game were made by each team member, especially a clutch pitching performance by junior captain Julie Schwenk and senior outfielder Michelle Bucior who had a diving catch, and a rapid throw home to junior catcher Lauren Shimanovsky who blocked the plate stopping a winning run. Schwenk agrees that these are the central components of success. “Whenever we put all the aspects of the game together, we are successful,” Schwenk said. Ramseyer hopes that the team’s chemistry supportive energy will help them in the long run. “I am very optimistic. Our goal is to finish in the top three in conference and as always our goal is to win regionals. We hope that the games that we have played up till now have prepared us Lauren Shimanovsky strokes a single to pad lead against St.
